Description
Usul al-Shashi is a well-known compendium on the principles of Islamic jurisprudence according to the Hanafi school. Despite its conciseness, the text is fit for a full, detailed study as it clearly articulates the position of the school, rather than the views and opinions of particular notable jurists. This edition* is based off a rare manuscript discovered by Shaykh Akram on a trip to Uzbekistan and subsequently edited by him.
*The text is in Arabic
