N1  - This research is a study of Abū al-Qāsim Khān Ibrāhīmī  [Abū  al-Qāsim  Khān]  (d. 1969)’s  Ijtihād wa taqlid, a contemporary Shaykhī Kirmānī literary text. This work is a particularly clear expose  of  Shaykhī  Kirmānī  opinions  on  ijtihad, on  the  structure  and  hierarchy  of  the  Shi‘i community  as  proposed  by  the  uṣūlī clergy, and,  more  broadly,  on  the  intellectual  history of Usulism. After introducing Shaykhism and, in particular, the doctrine of the rukn-i rābi‘, which is essential for understanding the originality of Abū al-Qāsim Khān’s argumentation on the subject of ijtihad, and after we have looked at the life and work of this author as well as the main historical  connections  between  Shaykhism  and  Akhbarism, we  will  examine the main themes of Ijtihād wa taqlid, paying particular attention to the introduction to the concepts of ijtihad and muqallid,  the  origins  of  ijtihād within  Shi’ism, the connections between reason (‘aql) and fiqh, and,  finally,  Abū  al-Qāsim  Khān’s  own  proposals
