(Redirected from Usooli)

'Usulis' are the majority Twelver Shi'a Muslim group; they favour fatwas over hadith, unlike the smaller Akhbari and Shaykhi groups, when trying to determine what the Sunnah says about any specific topic. They form the overwhelming majority within the Twelver Shia denomination. Since other Twelver denominations have a very small number of followers, the words 'Twelver' and/or 'Shia' are often used today to refer to the 'Usuli denomination' alone.
