Reliability
Shi'a scholars are certain about its credibility and the only problem of the book is that most of the hadiths (narrations) in it are narrated as al-hadith al-Mursal as there is no chain of transmitters for them in the book.{{Cite web|url=http://www.en.al-shia.org/content/al-ihtijaj|title=Al-Ihtijaj|website=www.en.al-shia.org|accessdate=Dec 29, 2019}}
