Recommended Books of Hanafi School of Jurisprudence

Question

Can you recommend me some beginner books of hanafi madhab.

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allah, and that Muhammad  sallallaahu  `alayhi  wa  sallam ( may  Allaah exalt his mention ) is His slave and Messenger.

As far as the Hanafi School of Jurisprudence is concerned, you, O brother, can start studying the Fiqh of this School of Jurisprudence with the following books: Mukhtassar Al-Qaddoori by Abu Al-Husayn Al-Qaddoori (d. 428 A.H.) ( may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him), taking into account that many explanations and commentaries have been made on this book. They are the following: Al-Jawharah An-Naiyrah by Sheikh Abu Bakr ibn ʿAli known as Al-Haddaadi Al-ʿIbaadi (d. 800 A.H.) ( may  Allaah  have  mercy  upon  him) and Al-Lubaab Fi Sharh Al-Kitaab by Sheikh ʿAbd Al-Ghani ibn Taalib ibn Hamaadah Al-Ghunaymi Ad-Dimishqi Al-Maydaani Al-Hanafi.

You can also start with Burhaan Ad-Deen Al-Mirghinaani’s (d. 593 A.H.) Bidaayatu Al-Mubtadi, noting that Sheikh Al-Mirghinaani has provided an explanation for this under the title of Al-Hidaayah Sharh Bidaayatu Al-Mubtadi.

These are some books from the Hanafi School of Jurisprudence with which junior students can start studying the Fiqh of this School of Jurisprudence.

Allah knows best.
