Islamic jurisprudence, known as Fiqh, is primarily based on two fundamental sources: the Holy Quran and the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In addition to these primary sources, scholars also rely on several secondary principles when interpreting Islamic law. These include consensus of scholars (Ijma), analogy (Qiyas), public interest (Masalih Mursalah), juristic preference (Istihsan), customs (Urf), continuity of legal rulings (Istishab), statements of the companions, prevention of harmful means (Sadd al-Dhara’i), and guidance from earlier divine laws. The book explains these foundations while emphasizing the importance of authentic Hadith in deriving legal rulings.
One of the main objectives of this book is to present Islamic rulings in a concise and clear manner so that readers can easily understand and remember them. Despite its concise approach, the author has carefully included strong evidences and references from the Quran and Hadith. To support these references, the book also cites opinions from well-known scholars and jurists from different periods of Islamic scholarship.
While discussing various issues of Islamic jurisprudence, the author has relied primarily on authentic Hadith. Special attention has been given to the verification of Hadith narrations. The classification of many Hadith—such as whether they are authentic, good, or weak—often follows the research of respected scholars of Hadith studies. Additional verification and scholarly commentary from prominent classical and contemporary scholars have also been considered.
The book includes references to opinions from the four major schools of Islamic jurisprudence and also mentions the views of other well-known scholars such as Imam Ibn Taymiyyah, Imam Ibn al-Qayyim, Imam al-Nawawi, Imam Ibn Hajar, Imam Ibn Qudamah, Imam al-Shawkani, Imam Ibn Hazm, Imam al-Sanani, and several contemporary scholars. By presenting these viewpoints together, the book offers readers a broader understanding of how different scholars approached various legal issues.
Another important feature of Fiqh al Hadith is its effort to highlight the most authentic and strongest opinions in matters where scholars have differed. By carefully analyzing evidence from the Quran and Sunnah, the author attempts to present the interpretation that appears closest to the original teachings of Islam. This balanced approach helps readers understand the diversity of scholarly opinion while also focusing on the most reliable evidence.
Overall, Fiqh al Hadith serves as a valuable resource for students and readers interested in Islamic jurisprudence based on authentic Hadith. Through its concise style, reliable references, and scholarly discussion, the book provides meaningful insight into how Islamic legal rulings are derived and understood.
