The book contains many issues in fiqh, usul al-fiqh (the principles of the Islamic jurisprudence), ‘ilm al-rijal and other fields.

In this book, al-Shaykh al-Tusi did not concern himself with issues in the principles of Shiite beliefs, restricting himself to issues related to all areas of fiqh or laws of sharia, from kitab al-tahara (the book of cleanliness) to kitab al-diyat (the book of blood money).
