Description
About The Book
The Haḍrami Introduction is a translation of al-Muqaddimah al-Ḥaḍramiyyah: the famous Arabic text manual in Shafi'i fiqh.
Compiled by Imam AbdUllah ibn Abdul Rahman ibn Abi Bakr Bafadl al-Hadrami in the ninth century, the manual focuses on the basic aspects of four of the five pillars of Islam: purification, salah, zakah and hajj and umrah; setting out all what one needs to know to practice the basic elements of one’s ibadah.
In many circles of knowledge, the student would start their basic education by studying this manual. Dr Omer El-Hamdoon has translated this manual to allow those who are unable to speak the Arabic language to make use of this manual to commence their learning journey.
As a basic manual written in brief and concise statements, it will need a teacher and mentor to guide the student through those sentences and phrases that need expanding.
Altogether, an essential contribution to the Muslim Student’s home library.

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.
