Muhammad al-Sadr (jurist)
Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Muhammad-Sadiq al-Sadr (Arabic: محمد محمّد صادق الصدر; born 23 March 1943 – 19 February 1999) was a prominent Iraqi Shia marja'. He called for government reform and the release of detained Shia leaders. The growth of his popularity, often referred to as the followers of the Vocal Hawza, also put him in competition with other Shi'a leaders, including Mohammed Baqir al-Hakim who was exiled in Iran.
