Description :


Renowned text of reference for the four Sunni schools of fiqh [Islamic Jurisprudence] by the notable scholar Imam 'Abd al-Rahman al-Jaziri, rahmatullahi ta'ala 'alayhi.


It is a valuable and detailed reference work for those interested in Islam, Islamic law or comparative law. This is a must for academic libraries as well as for individuals who want to learn more about the performance of religious duties. 


To date this is the only book on the market which brings together the teachings of all four Sunni schools of jurisprudence on a single topic. As such, it provides a unique service by enabling students of Islam, both Muslim and non-Muslim alike, to compare the teachings of the various schools without having to go in search of the relevant source material for each school.  It demonstrates the breadth and mercy of interpretation of each law and provides the Muslim practitioner with various ways in which he or she may fulfill the tenets of the faith.
