Sayyid Mahmoud Hosseini Shahroudi (in Persian: سید محمود حسینی شاهرودی) was one of the Shia religious authorities (Maraji' al-Taqlid) in the fourteenth century AH (twentieth century AD). He was a student of Akhund Khorasani, Mirza Mohammad-Hossein Gharavi Na'ini, and Aqa Diya' Iraqi. Following the death of Sayyid Abu al-Hasan Isfahani (d. 1365 AH), lots of Shiite followed him in the jurisprudential issues (Taqlid).[1]

During the period of Sayyid Mahmoud Hosseini Shahroudi's authority, specifically the first half of the fourteenth century SH, emerging issues (al-masa'il al-mustahdatha) such as radio, gramophones, modern music, usurious banking, photography and film, elections, the political situation in Iran and Iraq, and certain rulings related to the Hajj and the Ba'tha (Hajj delegation) were brought up and were addressed in his fatwas and inquiries (istifta'at) of the followers, as well as those of other Maraji' of that era. However, despite receiving many inquiries daily and establishing a council of inquiries (Majlis al-Istifta') that addressed emerging issues,[2] his jurisprudential views and foundations have not been properly or completely recorded and published.

His treatise of practical jurisprudence (risala 'amaliyya) does not report the edict of many contemporary issues, except for cases such as: the lack of father's guardianship (wilayah) in the marriage of a mature virgin girl and the recommendation to seek permission from the father or paternal grandfather,[3] the permissibility of bank prizes,[4] and the makruhness (reprehensibility) of photography and painting human's face.[5] He also considers Maa al-Sha'ir (barley water)[6] and industrial alcohol to be pure (tahir) provided they are not intoxicants.[7]

Two books, the Glosses on the book "al-Urwat al-Wuthqa" and the Glosses on the book "Wasilat al-Najat," express his fatwas.[8] The books "Yanabi' al-Fiqh" concerning prayer (Salat) and "Nata'ij al-Afkar fi al-Usul," are his advanced lectures adjusted (taqrir) and authored by Sayyid Muhammad Ja'far Jaza'iri.[9] A commemoration congress for Sayyid Mahmoud Hosseini Shahroudi titled "Alam Dhu al-Shahadatayn" was held on July 8, 2021 (17 Tir 1400 SH) in Shahroud, where some works were published to introduce him.[10]

The books written about him have attended to his social and political activities more than his scholarly efforts and praised ethics and virtues; those activities include: providing livelihood and medical support in the Islamic seminaries[11] and the establishment of the first Hajj delegation (Ba'tha) of the Shia religious authority since 1967 (1346 SH), which subsequently became a model for other religious authorities.[12]

According to documents and research reports, Sayyid Mahmoud Hosseini Shahroudi took stances on certain events during the struggles of the Islamic Movement of Iran in Najaf; such as opposition to the Provincial and District Councils Bill, condemning the Pahlavi regime's assault on the Feyziyeh School on March 22, 1963 (2 Farvardin 1342 SH), condemning the crimes of the Pahlavi regime on June 5, 1963 (15 Khordad 42), and taking a stand against the exile of Imam Khomeini.[13]
