The Principles & Codes of Law in Hanafi Fiqh
ABOUT THE BOOK
The Principles and Codes of Law in Hanafi Fiqh is a valuable and authoritative work compiled by Moulana Muhammad Zahid Mazhari Nadwi, offering a concise yet profound summary of Hanafi jurisprudence.
The book begins with foundational discussions such as “What is Fiqh?” and progresses through detailed, technical, and in-depth chapters that are especially beneficial for students and scholars of Islamic law. The first five chapters are scholarly in nature, carefully designed to serve the needs of the Ulama and advanced learners.
From the sixth chapter onwards, starting with “The Definition of Sunnah,” the book becomes more accessible, providing excellent material for non-scholars who wish to gain a deeper understanding of Islamic legal principles.
It is recommended that the first part be studied collectively by Ulama to encourage discussion and critical engagement, while the latter part is ideal for being taught by scholars to the general public with further explanation and clarification.
The depth, clarity, and scholarly insight found in this work reflect the vast knowledge and understanding of Deen possessed by Hadhrat Moulana Ashraf Ali Thanwi (رحمه الله), whose intellectual legacy shines throughout this remarkable compilation.
