Hāshimīyah Al-Tujjar

Hāshimīyah al-Tujjar was a Lady Mujtahideh in 20th century Iran.

She received ijtihād degrees in fiqh and uṣūl. Her niece, the daughter of her brother, became Iran's most prominent female religious intellectual of 20th century Iran, Nosrat Amin of Isfahan.See Mirjam Künkler and Roja Fazaeli, ‘The Life of Two Mujtahidas: Female Religious Authority in 20th Century Iran’, in ''Women, Leadership and Mosques: Changes in Contemporary Islamic Authority'', ed. Masooda Bano and Hilary Kalmbach (Brill Publishers, 2012), 127-160.

There are indications that the work of Nosrat Amin titled "al-Arbaʿīn al-Hāshimīyah" may have been begun by Hāshimīyah al-Tujjar.
