Concise Presentation of the Fiqh of the Sunnah and The Noble Book
This valuable introductory compilation of
fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) issues takes the reader by the hand and
shows him/her clearly what to do. As the author restricts the discussion
to what is most directly derived from the Qur’an and the Sunnah and,
therefore, above dispute, this book is valuable both as a work of fiqh
and as a collection of sound hadiths.
Although there are a number of
introductory compilations of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) issues
available, this particular work is unique in several ways. First, the
author has restricted his bases for fiqh to the Qur’an and the authentic
Hadith of the Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). Dr.
Abdul-Azeem Badawi has avoided using any of the weak or rejected hadiths
that are so often included in other books of fiqh. The author has also
restricted his discussion to what is most directly derived from the
Qur’an and the Sunnah and, therefore, above dispute. This book is thus
valuable both as a work of fiqh and as a collection of sound hadiths.
The topics which are dealt with include purity, prayer, fasting, zakah,
pilgrimage, marriage, business transactions, permissible and
impermissible foods, inheritance, criminal offenses, and jihad —
covering all the major fiqh issues in a Muslim’s life. Jamal al-Din M.
Zarabozo has translated this important work into English for the benefit
of English-speaking Muslims and students of Islam.
