The Hidāyah has held a preeminent place in the field of Islamic jurisprudence since its composition more than 800 years ago. For centuries, it has served as the primary reference for Muslim jurists in issuing authentic and reliable legal rulings within the school of Imām Abū Ḥanīfah (d. 150 AH / 767 CE).
Such is the authority of The Hidāyah that a scholar’s knowledge was often deemed incomplete without mastery of it. Nearly seventy major commentaries—some extending across a dozen volumes—have been authored on this monumental work, while the number of explanatory glosses reaches into the thousands.
With its comprehensive scope and clear organization, The Hidāyah eclipsed earlier writings on Ḥanafī jurisprudence, rendering them obsolete and gradually disused. Apart from the revealed scriptures themselves, no book has received such enduring scholarly attention.
This landmark edition represents the first complete translation of The Hidāyah directly from the original Arabic, the very language in which it was composed.
Perhaps the most well-known work of Imām al-Qudūrī, Al-Mukhtaṣar—also referred to simply as al-Kitāb—is a cornerstone text in Ḥanafī jurisprudence. It addresses around 12,500 issues, covering the full range of Fiqh, including not only acts of worship, but also business transactions, personal relations, and judicial and penal matters.
Abū ʿAlī al-Shāshī remarked about the book:“Whoever memorizes this book is the most accomplished of our companions in memorization, and whoever understands it is the most accomplished of our companions in understanding.”
As is typical with concise manuals of Fiqh, Al-Mukhtaṣar does not usually present evidences or the reasoning behind rulings. These foundations and derivations can be explored in the more advanced works of the madhhab, and they presuppose some familiarity with uṣūl al-fiqh.
This edition offers a clear and accessible English translation of Mukhtaṣar al-Qudūrī, serving as a practical guide for students of knowledge and a gateway to deeper study.
The Mukhtasar Al-Quduri is one of the most celebrated and influential treatises in any Muslim school of methodology and thought and is the foundation for the Hanafi school. It is both the first source for scholars and a manual for the general reader.
This is its first ever complete translation in English.
