Quchani was allowed to ijtihad by the authorities of Najaf, including Abd al-Hadi al-Shirazi, Jamaluddin Golpayegani, Khoei and Muhsin al-Hakim, and Seyyed Ali Qazi also approved his ijtihad. In Najaf, he was engaged in teaching jurisprudence, Islamic principles and philosophy (such as famous Islamic book Manzoomeh Sabzevari). He taught several courses on the book Asfar. He had such a strong memory that memorized some complex jurisprudential or philosophical texts. Due to his insistence on staying in Najaf, he spent the last three years of his life alone and died on Wednesday, March 21, 1990 (23 Sha'ban 1410 AH) and was buried in Wadi-us-Salaam, Najaf. He was survived by 2 sons and 2 daughters.

Works Due to the will of his master Qazi, Quchani did not write any works of his own. But he corrected the famous Islamic jurisprudence book Javaher al-Kalam during ten years of research. Quchani compiled a complete book from lectures and courses of master Khoei too.
