Imam al-Hasan b. Ali al-Askari (a): Difference between revisions

In [[hadith]] studies, one of the titles mentioned for Imam al-Hasan al-'Askari (a) is "faqih", with which he (a) was especially known to his companions. Some of his hadiths are about [[fiqh]] and its different branches. Since organization of religion regarding fiqh was made previously at the time of Imam al-Sadiq (a) and was then developed toward its perfection, Imam al-Hasan al-'Askari (a) mostly discussed about secondary issues which came up or were for some reason critical at his time such as the beginning of the month of Ramadan and the discussions about [[Khums]].

Even though Imam al-'Askari (a) was very young, he (a) was very famous due to his scientific and moral position, his leadership of [[Shi'a]], their sincere following of him, and unquestioned respect of people. Also, since people knew him and paid attention to him, except for few cases, [[Abbasid]] government showed respect to him in appearance.
