Description
Umdat Al-Fiqh Explained: A Commentary on Ibn Qudamah’s The Reliable Manual of Fiqh (2 Vol Set) By Dr. Hatem Al-Haj
ISBN: 9786035013789
The Sharia, based on the holy revelation (the Quran and Sunnah), sets out the way for believers to sustain a devotional relationship with their creator and to treat His creation with justice and graciousness. In ‘Umdat al-Fiqh, Imam Ibn Qudamah has produced a valuable resource by summarizing all the rules according to the Hanbali school; in these volumes, I have translated his authoritative manual and written a commentary on it. My commentary includes the views of the other schools of fiqh where warranted, and it addresses some contemporary issues, particularly those pertaining to Muslims living as minorities in non-Muslim societies. I augmented it with proofs from the revelations, as well as rational arguments, and expounded on some of the wisdom of the legislation. I also used symbols and bullet points, as well as charts, tables, and graphs for simplification. This, I hope, will allow for the book to be utilized with ease and referred to as a primary source of fiqh.

Strongly recommend this new translation
Dr. Hatem al-Haj's translation and commentary on Ibn Qudamah's Umdat Al-Fiqh is a major contribution to the study of Hanbali jurisprudence in the English language. Umdat al-Fiqh is an introductory Hanbali Fiqh manual that covers all major Fiqh subjects from ablution to worship to Zakat to marriage to divorce to inheritance to commercial sales to rules of evidence and everything in between. I believe this translation is the first and only English translation of Umdat al-Fiqh treatise. The translation is accurate and having the Arabic text next to the English is an amazing teaching tool for students and scholars alike. I found Dr. al-Haj's knowledgable jurist commentary spot on and very helpful and it complements the Arabic text. While Umdat al-Fiqh is a Hanbali work, students of fiqh of any school would benefit tremendously from studying this text. I will assign it to my students. I strongly recommend this new translation. It is a reference manual that should be in your library.
