Fiqh al-Imam

Key Proofs in Hanafi Fiqh

On Taqlid and the Hanafi Interpretation of the Prophetic Statement:”Pray as You Have Observed Me Pray.”

£5.99

In recent decades many attacks have been launched against the concept of taqlid [following a school of Islamic law]. Opposition has ranged from being mild with degrees of acceptance to malicious attacks. Certain extreme elements have gone so far as to brand those who follow a madhhab [school] as mushrik [polytheist]. Much of the opposition has been a result of misunderstanding the realities of this concept.

The first part of this book seeks to clarify certain aspects of taqlid that have been misunderstood and gravely distorted. It sheds light on the necessity of taqlid, its history, and its role in today’s world. The second part includes several chapters devoted to issues regarding salat [ritual prayer] according to the Hanafi school of law. Through illustrative examples and detailed discussions, the chapters on prayer sufficiently demonstrate the sophisticated legal philosophy employed by the Hanafi school (indeed all the madhhabs) in their derivation of legal rulings from the source texts of Islam.

All rulings have been supported with evidentiary proofs from the Qur’an and Hadith. The author delivers an even-handed presentation of arguments throughout the book. He intends neither to offend nor to perpetuate polemic disputes, but rather to state the facts in a lucid and rational style, with a view to appeal to the reader’s sense of reason.

Shaykh Abdur-Rahman has the unique experience of serving as an imam in Muslim communities on both sides of the Atlantic, eight years in Southern California and over five in the great city of London—and his continued work as an international speaker and lecturer enables him to address and offer pertinent advice on current challenges that face Muslims in the West.

Excellent book!

This is a great book that details the hadiths and explanations for the variation in prayers, with a focus on the Hanafi mazhab. Not convoluted, simple to understand and the writer has done a great job in extracting the key points and arguments :)

I have heard about dispute not to follow mazhab which i disagree even without knowledge. I trust mufti Mangera and would like to get more information about this subject.
Highly recommend whitethreadpress.

An important contribution to defend the tradition.

An immense effort from the author Mufti Saab to defend the tradition that goes back nearly 1,400 years amid the baseless attacks on madhabs in recent times.

One of the best works in the english language on fiqh for the laymen

It is essential in today's climate for any laymen follower of Hanafi fiqh to understand that the school he/she follows is grounded in proof and evidence.
