About The Book

This volume contains an original commentary for Al-Tadhkirah (The Memorandum), a legal primer for Islamic Law according to the later scholars of the Shafi'i school by Ibn al-Mulaqqin, an Egyptian scholar who died in 804 AH/1401 CE. The commentary introduces essential evidence for the core issues of Islamic Law from its primary sources (the Quran, Sunnah, legal analogy, and scholarly consensus).

The commentary is based on Ibn al-Mulaqqin's legal commentaries (Sharh Mukhtasar al-Tabrirzi, Khulasat al-fatawi, and Ujalat al-Muhtaj and works on legal hadiths (Tuhfat al-muhtaj, Mukhtasar al-Badr al-munir, and Al-Badr al-munir). The Evident Memorandum helps explain why Islamic Law includes specific topics and the essential evidence behind the Shafi'i school's opinion. It will be most beneficial to readers who are already familiar with Islamic Law and jurisprudence.
