Tahrirolvasyleh (Arabic script تحرير الوسيلة, also transcribed as Tahrir-ul-Vaseela or Tahrir al-wasilah) is a book (in two volumes and four editions) authored by Ayatollah Khomeini as a guide for Muslims. It was said to be written by Khomeini while he was in Turkey and later on in Najaf [1].
The Website of Fazel Lankarani has listed the book[1] under the title Tafsil-al-Shariah.

[edit] Overview
The book stands in a tradition of commentaries on Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) which are commonly written by high Shia clerics who bear the title of Marja. As such, it contains highly conventionalised compilations of traditional rulings on Islamic life and morality. This contrasts sharply with other works by Khomeini, which contain more novel and controversial accounts of his theological and political stances.
The book has been the target of some polemics by some critics of Khomeini.
