Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh - He who is without Jurist
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruh al-Faqīh(Vol. 1)
He who is without Jurist
Shaykh Muḥammad b. ʿAlī al-Ṣaduq
Translated by Bab Ul Qaim Publications
Man Lā Yaḥḍuruhū al-Faqīh, compiled by Shaykh al-Ṣadūq (Ibn Baḅawayh, d. 381 AH), is the second of the Four Main Shīʿī Ḥadīth collections and was expressly assembled as a practical handbook for any believer “who has no access to a jurist.” Unlike larger compendia, it presents each tradition succinctly—often omitting full chains of transmission—to focus squarely on the legal rulings and devotional practices essential to daily life. In its classical form it is a single work; modern printed editions typically span four volumes, comprising just under a thousand chapters arranged by topic.
