Description

About The Book

Fasting is one of Islam’s five pillars, and thus, it is a very significant devotional act in the life of every Muslim. Once a year, the Muslims who are able observe this sacred duty. Fasting during the month of Ramadan is an act by which its correct performance draws one near to the Creator, the Almighty Lord of the Worlds. Knowing how to perform this ritual is of utmost importance.

The Fiqh of Fasting is an explanation of Kitab al-Siyam from ‘Abd Allah b. 'Abd al-Rahman BaFadl's Masa'il al-Ta'lim. This book brings forth some of the most important legal issues on the topic of fasting. The explanation takes from the Shafi'i Madhhab's relied-upon reference works, such as Ibn Hajar’s Tuhfah, Ramli’s Nihayah, and others. Along with citing from the fiqh books, many source evidences are presented.

The Muqaddimah Al-Hadramiyyah of al-Imam 'Abd-Allah Ibn 'Abd-al-Rahman BaFadl al-Hadrami (d. 918 H) is a summary of the essentials of worship according to the Shafi'i Fiqh.

The Muqaddimah provides the student with further rulings and scenarios extending on those encountered in previous text such as Mukhtasar al-Latif and Matn Abi Shuja'.

About the author

Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Rahman Bafadl al-Hadrami: Abd Allah ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Abi Bakr ibn Muhammad al-Hajj Bafadl al-Hadrami al-Tarimi (d. 918 AH / 1513 CE) was one of the foremost Shafi'i jurists of the Hadramawt region of Yemen. He is principally known for two foundational works: al-Muqaddimah al-Hadramiyyah (also called al-Mukhtasar al-Kabir or Masa'il al-Ta'lim), a concise and precise compendium of the essential rulings of worship covering purification, prayer, zakat, fasting, and pilgrimage according to the Shafi'i school; and al-Mukhtasar al-Latif (al-Mukhtasar al-Saghir), a shorter abridgment of the same material. The al-Muqaddimah al-Hadramiyyah became one of the standard beginner texts in Shafi'i fiqh across the Islamic world, particularly in the Hadramawt, Southeast Asia, and East Africa, and has attracted numerous commentaries over the centuries. His family nisba 'Bafadl' (short for 'Banu Fadl') identifies him as belonging to a well-established Arab scholarly lineage in the Hadramawt region. He was from Tarim, one of the historical centers of Islamic learning in Yemen. His works remain foundational references in traditional Shafi'i education.
