Description :

This is a bi-lingual book for English and Urdu readers.


Extract from the Introduction : '' It is true that in earlier times, to be a Mufti (Islamic jurist) one had to be a mujtahid also, but in our times, the narrator (naaqil) of the opinions of the great Imams (Aqwaal-e-Madhhab) is a Mufti.


In this day and age, a true Mufti is extremely valuable, but the problem we are faced with today is that without proper training or authority, the average Imam, Masjid or Madrassah teacher also acts like a Mufti.  Undeserving, and unauthorised people, who do not have the capacity or capability to perform the duty of a jurist have decided to issue religious verdicts (fataawa). The situation today is so dire, that these so-called Mufti's are so bold and daring that they do not even hesitate to delve into serious matters such as the Mas'alah-e-Takfir. A blessed hadith states:

''Whoever gives a Fatawa without knowledge, the Angels of the heavens and earth curse him''!

This book is the first from Mufti Shams-ul-Huda sahib's written fatawa, and has signatures and stamps of confirmation and support by leading Sunni scholars of the sub-continent, this is proof of Mufti sahib's efforts and the authenticity of his research.'' _{---Mufti Aal-e-Mustafa al-Misbahi, Darul Ifta, Jamia Amjadiyyah, Razawiyyah, Ghosi, U.P}.



The majority of the questions posed in this book are from brothers/sisters in the UK and are therefore related in some ways to the issues present in the UK and elsewhere today. Also included are replies to 18 degree Isha & Fajr Salaah timings.
