Muhmmad Ibrahim Kalbasi

Muhammad Ibrahim Kalbasi (Karbasi), one of the great Shi'a scholars in Isfahan –Iran. He was a perfect jurisconsult.

He was trained under great scolars for many years in Iraq: "Seyyed Bahrul Olum", "sheikh Jafar Kabir", "Seyyed Saheb Riaz" and "Muhaqeq A'raji". He was contemporary with "Seyyed Baqer Shafti" (great jurisconsult) although they were in the same scientific level, Kalbasi had a high respect for him #### and kissed his handwriting!
