Claim
The only primary text on Shi'ite principles of jurisprudence in English is the translation of Muhammad Baqir as-Sadr's Durus fi 'Ilm al-'Usul.
Correction
This is incorrect: there are other primary Shi'ite uṣūl al‑fiqh texts available in English translation (e.g., Ayatollah Ja'far Subhani’s *al‑Mujaz fi Usul al‑Fiqh*).
Full reasoning
The article claims that English readers have access to **only one** primary (i.e., authored-source) Shi'ite text on uṣūl al‑fiqh: Muhammad Baqir al‑Sadr’s *Durus fi 'Ilm al‑'Usul*.
However, other primary Shi'ite uṣūl al‑fiqh works have been translated into English. For example, Ayatollah Ja'far Subhani’s *al‑Mujaz fi Usul al‑Fiqh* has an English translation published as **_Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence for Beginners_**.
Because at least one other primary Shi'ite uṣūl al‑fiqh text exists in English translation, the statement that al‑Sadr’s translation is the **only** primary English text on this subject is false.
