This set illustrates the many facets of daily life according to the Qur'an and Sunnah. It is divided into books — beginning with the Book of Purification and running through to the Book of Zakah — each subdivided into chapters treating a specific topic in detail, with every effort made to prove each point from the Qur'an and Sunnah.

Its Approach to the Schools

The author's method is stated plainly, and it is what distinguishes the work.

The material is presented so it can be understood by the young and the old, without blindly following any of the schools of jurisprudence, but rather subject to authentic proofs and the most authoritative opinions — without fanatical adherence to any group. The author agrees with each school where the truth is with them, and differs from them where they depart from what is correct.

That is a demanding standard, and it means a reader gets the evidence rather than a verdict. It also means the set is usable by a Muslim from any background, since it does not begin by assuming his school is right.

What Fiqh Actually Is

The introduction defines the term carefully, and the definition is worth having. Fiqh is reaching knowledge of what is unclear through knowledge of what is proven — which makes it narrower and more specific than knowledge or learning in general. It is knowledge of the juristic law.

The Arabic forms carry the shades: faquha, a man has acquired understanding and become a faqih; faqiha, he has understood a thing; tafaqqaha, he has devoted himself to acquiring Islamic knowledge and specialized in it.

Who It Is For

Families wanting a substantial fiqh reference. Students of knowledge. Imams and teachers. Anyone who has followed a practice for years on the strength of custom and would like to see the evidence for it. Two volumes, and the arrangement makes it straightforward to find a specific ruling.

Assalamu Alaikum, brothers and sisters. I just bought this book and found it be astonishing. The footnotes provided after a Hadith are usually extensive, so the authenticity of the Ahadith are always established. The author very rarely uses weak Ahadith or weak arguments to prove his points. A must read for every seeker of knowledge. In, addition, another problem is that readers have to wait for additional volumes on other issues to be completed. Other than that, the book is excellent. Wassalamu Alaikum.

Asalam Alaikum, I have had this book for a while. I refer to the book whenever any basic fiqh question comes to mind. This book is one of its kind. It's a very simple and doesn't go into too much detail. It sticks to Quran & Sunnah and mentions the view of the Major scholars when needed. Everyone should own a copy of this book. It doesn't go in to comparative fiqh like many of the major Islamic books that are composed of may volumes.

Assalamu Alaikum, brothers and sisters. This product is simply amazing because the author doesn't blindly follow the views of the Madhabs. The author always ensures the Ahadith are authentic, with a few exceptions. If you want an authentic book, please refer to this. Assalamu Alaikum

Assalaamu aliekum! The author of this book has demonstrated a strong knowledge of HADITH- however this is a related but different area of Islamic sciences than FIQH. While the book is described as not 'blindly following' one of the major schools of jurisprudence [methebs], the author seems to zealously follow the scholar Al-Albani which is in fact like following a metheb [yani following the rulings of one scholar and his followers]. Moreover, several 'hot' issues are barely given discussion like the Shafai opinion of men/women touching each other breaking wudhu and some positions such as wiping over socks in wudhu are not consistent with the majority view of the fuqoha, nor are their opinion given. Other unusual positions are also stated, even without evidence, such as placing the hands on the chest during prayer [this is not the opinion of any metheb and Al-Bukhari raheem Allah refuted the evidence often cited for this position i.e. the hadith of Wael ibn Hajar RAA] and several other important issues of the prayer are glossed over [Fiqh As-Sunna by Sheikh Sayed Sabiq is much more thorough]. And this book, like many Selefi books, fails to show many elements of the Hanafi school's fiqh of prayer, very disappointing as it is very interesting. I also found the fasting and zakah sections a bit skimpy and they fail to address a number of issues especially more contemporary issues. This book is more a collection of hadiths and Quranic ayats than a fiqh book. While it is showcased as an introductory book, I find many of the positions misleading or over-simplified. And in fact, I would only recommend this book to someone who has a strong background in FIQH, as this book may be more supplementary [of course I don't know why they would need the book then?]. May Allah reward the author for his striving in compiling the book, but though is is entitled as 'fiqh', there is a lot of fiqh missing. For the novice I would certainly recommend Fiqh As-Sunna [Sabiq] instead, however this book may help to complement that book.

This is an excellent book on fiqh mash Allah. Very easy to understand. The footnotes are gold for explaining Islamic terminology. All references are given from the Quran and Sunnah as the title suggests. Fiqh is an essential study for those who want to learn their deen thoroughly. I recommend this book to everyone who want to know the do's and don'ts of Islam for day to day basis and beyond. Very happy with this purchase!
