The Mukhtasar Al-Quduri - A Manual of lslamic Law

The Mukhtaṣar al-Qudûrî is one of the most celebrated and influential treatises in any Muslim school of methodology and thought and is the foundation for the Ḥanafî school. It is both the first source for scholars and a manual for the general reader.

Its judgements, based on divine revelation, trace back directly through men of the highest calibre, such as al-Jassas and Abu Hanifah to ‘Abdullah ibn Mas’ud and other great Companions (may Allah have mercy on them) and thence to Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), the Final Messenger of Allah (most high).

This is the first ever complete translation in English and includes forewords from Shaykh Muhammad Imdad Hussain Pirzada and Shaykh Muhammad ibn Yahya al-Ninowy.
