Title: Taking narrations from a Waqfi
Post by: Shia not Rafidi on September 20, 2019, 04:35:21 AM
Salam,
Recently I've come across a Diehard Shia who tried to argue that Imam Reza AS deemed waqfis as "Nasaab" so we (shia) don't take any narration from waqfi..
I showed him "Uddah al-Asul by Tusi" where Tusi says that we can take narrations from a Waqfi in certain circumstances but still he's in denial...
Anyway, i want some detailed rulings on waqfis by shiite rijal experts and Imams because i couldn't find anything relevant to it on the internet..
Wassalam

If I recall correctly lots of their early narrations contain Waqifi narrators in the chain.

Here is one report that talks about this issue. Shia leader al-Shareef al-Murtada says in “Rasa’il al-Murtada”:

إنّ أعظم الفقه وجمهوره، بل جميعه، لا يخلو سنده ممّن يذهب مذهب الواقفة وإلى غلاة وخطّابية وإلى قمّيٍّ مشبّه مجبّر، وإنّ القمّيين كلّهم أجمعين، من غير استثناء لاَحـد منهـم ـ إلاّ أبا جعفر بن بابويه رحمه الله ـ بالاَمس كانوا مشبّهة مجبّرة، وكتبهم وتصانيفهم تشهد بذلك

[The greatest amount of (Shia) Fiqh, rather all of it, reaches us through chains containing a Waqifi, a Ghaali (extremist), a Khattabi or a Qummi who believes in Jabr and Tashbeeh. The Qummies, all of them -with the exception of Ibn Babuwayh – until just yesterday were all Mushabbihah and Mujabbirah, their books and works are a testimony to this.]
