> Fiqhul-Shar'i: Fiqh of Islamic Law

[al-boriqee]

If anyone wishes to benefit with regard to usoolul-fiqh and maqaasid ash-shar'iyyah I beleive the best resource for all of us to benefit from is Dr. Nyazee's works.

the only minor issue about his backround is his hanafi orientation, however, his presentations are free from partisanship to his madhaab and presents a more comparative angle to it. The best part of his works is that it is a weapon against the kuffaric onslought of our religion and our shariah.

The most beneficial aspect of these works is that they cover a majority of our daily transactions from a legal societal aspect that most current day fiqh books lack.

The author also fully translated the work of Ibn Rushd Bidayatul-Mujtahid wan-Nihaayatul-Muqtasid which is in two volumes

here is what the book looks like

Amazon.com: The Distinguished Jurist's Primer Volume I: Ibn Rushd, Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee: Books

but order it from a Muslim site like kitaabun.

Kitaabun - Classical and Contemporary Muslim and Islamic Books: Bidayat al-Mujtahid:] The Distinguished Jurist's Primer- PB Set

the only thing i worry is that average people like us who would by it and automatically think, by default of their having the book, that they are jurist or qualified to speak about this. While it is truely a primer for the aspiring jurist, it is nothing more but an aquintance for the average person to know the details of what a qadhi (muslim judge) must go through. It is detailed case law almost a reflection of how works on western law are deduced. It is a matserpiece and I think it is the bets book for people to study law in a juristic framework.
