تحفة الأبرار بشرح مقدمة الدر المختار وحاشيتها رد المحتار

ABOUT THE BOOK

This scholarly work presents a critical and in-depth study of Hanafi jurisprudence and Islamic legal methodology, combining classical authority with rigorous academic verification. It is designed for advanced students of fiqh, researchers, and scholars seeking an authentic and analytical approach to Islamic law.

The book introduces a unique methodology for studying al-Durr al-Mukhtār and Radd al-Mukhtār, two of the most important references in Hanafi fiqh, while offering precise scholarly observations and corrections. It carefully examines the juristic chain of Imam Ibn Ābidīn al-Shāmī, identifying errors and uncommon mistakes found in later transmissions.

A major section is devoted to defining fiqh both linguistically and technically, clarifying the true meaning of a jurist, and pointing out instances where less-preferred opinions were adopted contrary to stronger scholarly positions. The book also corrects widespread misconceptions in acts of worship, aligning them with verified scholarly evidence.

In addition, the work presents a critical study of Imam Abū Ḥanīfa’s narrations from the Companions, evaluating them according to sound standards of hadith and legal criticism, making it a valuable contribution to both fiqh and hadith studies.

What distinguishes this book is its careful scholarly editing and refinement by a contemporary specialist, ensuring accuracy, depth, and clarity.
