Description :

Sharh Manzumat Uqud Rasm al-Mufti by ibn Abidin al-Shami, rahmatullahi ta'ala 'alayhi, is an explanation on the principles of fatwa writing. It gives an introduction and outlines the objective - which is the presentation of a charter in poetic form based on the Hanafi Madhhab that seeks to curtail rogue practices and instil regulation and consistency in fatawa (edicts) forwarded to the masses.




Imam ibn Abidin ash-Shami :

He is Muhammad Amin ibn Umar Abidin al-Maturidi al-Hanafi, rahmatullahi ta'ala 'alayhi. He was born in Damascus, Syria in 1198 Hijri. His family came from a long line of scholars and was, therefore, well respected. He studied the Qur'an starting at a very young age and received his first general degree of authorisation from his first teacher, Shaykh Muhammad al-Kuzbari al-Kabir, when he was about 12 years old. He was said to have memorised the Qur'an before he reached maturity. He was a very determined student.  He became the authority of the fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) of the Hanafi madhhab (school of law) and was given the title of Amin al-fatwa. Ibn Abidin died on 21 Rabi al-thani in the year 1252 AH at the age of 54 years.


He composed over 50 works consisting of a major fatawa (legal statement) collection, many treatises, poems, and several commentaries on the works of others. His most famous work was the Radd al-Muhtar ala Ad-Durr al-Mukhtar. This is still considered the authoritative text of Hanafi fiqh today.

---Radd al-Muhtar 'ala al-Dur al-Mukhtar,
---Al-'Uqud ad-Durriyyah fi Tanqihi Al-Fatawa al-Hamidiyyah,
