        Jurisprudential and legal texts have been a part of Mazdean literature, these texts start from minor family laws and end with great laws of the state. Legal texts in Avestan language have remained in the books Vendidād, Hērbedestān and Nērangestān, the most of the jurisprudential-legal texts left over from Middle Persian are influenced by Avestan texts. In this article, the author tries to study the jurisprudential-legal questions of the Pahlavi text of the questions (Pursišnīhā), which is one of the valuable texts of Middle Persian, pay attention to importance of legal issues in the Zoroastrian religion. The legal questions raised depict a society whose laws are based on the Avesta Bible as well as the sayings of religious leaders such as Āzarbād Mārspand. Also examining the Avestan quotations of this text, we find that in the book of questions, in addition to the Avestan texts mentioned above, the book of Yasnā has been used, as well as the Avestan legal Nasks that are not available today.
