Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

"Wasa'il al-Shia" stands as one of the most monumental collections of Shi'i jurisprudential hadith, rigorously documenting every dimension of religious law. Compiled by the illustrious Shaykh Hurr Amili (d. 1693), this encyclopedic masterpiece comprises approximately 36,000 traditions across 30 volumes.Driven by the necessity of engaging directly with the explicit words of the Ahl al-Bayt, Shaykh Hurr Amili designed this collection as a complete, self-sufficient constitution for both knowledge and practice. Systematically organized by topic, the work aggregates traditions from reliable and mass-transmitted textual sources, expanding beyond the Four Canonical Books to gather the preserved notebooks of the early faithful.Above all, it serves as an unaltered conduit to the Infallibles, offering the greatest gift possible: the ability to base one's religion firmly upon the pristine teachings of the Ahl al-Bayt.Volume 18 of "Wasa'il al-Shia" continues the Kitab al-Tijarah (Book of Commerce), providing deep jurisprudential analysis on the mechanisms of transactions and financial obligations. It begins with the detailed rules of Khiyar (Options), outlining the rights of the buyer and seller to rescind a contract, including the option of the meeting place, options for animals, and options based on stipulated conditions or discovered defects. The volume then transitions into the broader rulings of contracts, addressing cost-plus sales (Murabaha), the exchange of currencies (Sarf), and the strict prohibitions and definitions surrounding Riba (Usury/Interest). Additionally, it covers specific commercial practices such as selling fruits, trading animals, and the execution of forward sales (Salam). The final sections comprehensively address financial liabilities, focusing on the ethics and rules of debt, loans, collateral (Rahn), guarantorship, legal interdiction (Al-Hajr), and the principles of reconciliation (Sulh).Translated by the Shia Heritage Foundation, this edition provides researchers, university students, and seminarians with a precise, authoritative text. It stands as an indispensable resource for the rigorous study of classical law and the practical implementation of early jurisprudential doctrine.
