Risalah
Message (oral or written); letter, epistle; essay, treatise, monograph. A literary/scholarly form of varying length and content found in a wide range of fields, including theology, grammar, law, and belles-lettres. Scholars often used the risalah form to publish their own opinions and ideas framed as responses to questions. Literary risalahs were often composed in highly stylized, rhyming, and rhythmic prose (saj), and at times in verse. Rasail, the plural of risalah, can refer to published collections of the correspondence of famous literary figures.

A Resalah (Arabic for "journal", "pamphlet", or "book") (رسالة توضيح المسائل), also resalah amaliyah is a book written by a Shia Marja that contains his practical rulings arranged according to topics dealing with ritual purity, worship, social issues, business, and political affairs, and outlining the principles used to derive specific rulings.
All resalahs begin with an explicit disclaimer stating that no proof shall be given for any of the points in the Roots of Religion.
