In his youth, Borujerdi studied under a number of Shia masters of [[fiqh]] such as
[[Sayyid Muhammad Baqir Durchih'i]], [[Mohammad-Kazem Khorasani]] and Aqa Zia Iraqi, and specialized in [[fiqh]]. He studied the ''fiqahat'' of all the Islamic schools of thought, not just his own, along with the science of ''[[rijal]]''. Though he is known for citing ''[[The Fourteen Infallibles|Masumeen]]'' to support many of his deductions, Borujerdi is known for elucidating many aspects himself and is an influential ''fiqh'' jurist in his own right. He has had a strong influence on Islamic scholars like [[Morteza Motahhari]] and [[Hussein-Ali Montazeri]]. ==Notable students==
