'''''Al-Mabsūṭ fī fiqh al-Imāmīyya''''' (Arabic: {{ia|المبسوط في فقه الإمامية}}) is a [[fiqh|jurisprudential]] work written by [[al-Shaykh al-Tusi]] (b. 385/995 - d.460/1067-68) in Arabic. '''''Al-Mabsūṭ''''' was written in response to opponents of the [[Shi'a]] who purported that the Shiite [[jurisprudence]] carried little weight compared to other schools. According to the author, the book contains all jurisprudence-related sections and ancillaries discussed by [[Sunni]] jurists. '''''Al-Mabsūṭ''''' was cited by Shiite jurists in their works.
