Islaamic Rulings for Incarcerated Muslims: Volume One is a groundbreaking compilation of Islamic verdicts (fataawaa) addressing the real questions and challenges faced by Muslim brothers and sisters who have been tested with imprisonment.
Published by Authentic Statements in cooperation with Tarbiyyah Bookstore, it brings together rulings on matters of Manhaj (methodology), 'Aqeedah (creed), and Fiqh (jurisprudence) — the very issues a believer in confinement most needs clarity on, from holding firmly to correct belief and the way of the Salaf, to practicing the obligations of worship within the constraints of incarceration.
Why This Fills a Real Gap
For many, prison is where they first embrace Islam or first begin to practice it seriously, yet sound, scholarly guidance in English tailored to their circumstances has long been scarce. While its focus is the incarcerated Muslim, its benefit is not limited to them: the questions of creed, methodology and worship it answers are of value to any Muslim, and it is a particularly useful resource for anyone engaged in da'wah to prisoners.
The Panel of Scholars
What makes this publication especially significant is its sources — verdicts from a panel of respected contemporary scholars of Ahlus-Sunnah wal-Jamaa'ah, many of whose fataawaa had not previously appeared in any English-language collection:
- Shaikh Wasee'-'Ullaah 'Abbaas
- Shaikh 'Alee at-Tuwayjaree
- Shaikh Ahmad Bazmool
- Shaikh Sulayman ar-Ruhaylee
- Shaikh Muhammad bin Haadee
- Shaikh Saalih as-Suhaymee
- Shaikh 'Ubayd al-Jaabiree
- Shaikh Khaalid ar-Raddaadee
- Shaikh 'Alee Naasir al-Faqihee
- Shaikh 'Abdullaah al-Jarboo'a
- Shaikh 'Umar as-Sumaalee
- Shaikh Taraaheeb ad-Dawsiree
- Shaikh 'Abdullaah al-Bukhaaree
Who It Is For
Incarcerated Muslims and the chaplains, families and prison da'wah organizations that support them — and a beneficial addition to any Muslim's library.
