From Ruling to Practice
Fiqh brought near, on the Hanafi, Maliki and Shafiʿi schools
Fiqh on your school, book by book from water to the last chapters. Every ruling was taken from the school's relied-upon books and checked against its source. Lesson texts are in Arabic.
Start here
You go through each book three times, each in its own form:
- Core text The chapter's numbered propositions on your school alone. Read and memorise them across the whole book before coming back.
- Commentary Return to the same lessons: the conditions and reasons of the rulings, the chapter's rules, and where the three schools part and why.
- Close study Sections for the intermediate student inside the lessons: disagreement within the school, puzzles, wider texts.
Lessons
Go through the whole book in the core text, then return for the commentary, then for the close study. Each cycle's mark fills in once you complete it.
