The Purpose and Approximation to Judge Arabic (Fiqh Shafi) متن الغاية والتقريب-Islamic law-Arabic Book

The Purpose and Approximation to Judge Arabic (Fiqh Shafi) (متن الغاية والتقريب) is a classical Shafi‘ī jurisprudence (fiqh) text authored by Abi Shuja ibn Shafi’i and attributed to Ahmad bin al-Husayn al-Isfahani, and is widely studied among students of Shafi‘i law for its concise style and accessible expressions. Known historically as one of the most popular Shafi‘i manuals, this work presents fundamental legal rulings in a clear format. Due to occasional weaknesses and unclear expressions in the original, the text has been critically edited and annotated with clarifications, evidences, and scholarly commentary to facilitate easier understanding and practical application of Shafi‘i legal principles. This edition from Dar Ibn Hazm makes this important fiqh resource valuable for both students and scholars of Islamic law.
