This is the second course of the Islamic Law for Seekers (Hanafi) series and covers the fiqh of commercial transactions. Entering into the realm of transactions (mu‛amalat), this course furthers one’s knowledge into the most important topics required for a Muslim to know after the fiqh of worship. Students will learn details of the required knowledge for commercial transactions, including sales, leasing, or hire.

Please note:  The recorded lessons are by Shaykh Faraz Rabbani. The active instructor, for forum answers and live sessions, is Shaykh Faraz A. Khan.

This course serves to provide a proper understanding of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) of commercial transactions. This course is based upon Imam Mawsuli’s al-Mukhtar. Imam Mawsuli’s influential book is one of the four relied upon primers of the Hanafi school of law, which summarize the original positions of the founder of the school (Imam Abu Hanifa, may Allah have mercy on him) and the transmitted position of the madhhab.

This course is intended for seekers of knowledge and is an excellent preparation for the study of more advanced texts in jurisprudence such as Imam al-Marghiyani’s al-Hidayah.

An English translation of al-Mukhtar will be provided, along with the full Arabic text of Imam Mawsuli’s own commentary on al-Mukhtar, called al-Ikhtiyar li-Ta’lil Masa’il al-Mukhtar.  This commentary explains the legal reasoning underlying the issues and rulings in al-Mukhtar. Imam Mawsuli’s commentary focuses on the differences of opinion within the Hanafi School and the legal discussion between Imam Abu Hanifa and his two students.

Imam Abdullah bin Mahmud bin Mawdud al-Mawsuli al-Hanafi (599-683 AH) was born in Mousul in Northern Iraq and studied Hanafi fiqh -- among others -- with Imam al-Hasidi in Damascus. He was known as the most distinguished Hanafi scholar of his age. He was a judge (qadi) in Kufa and later taught at the mosque of Imam Abu Hanifa in Baghdad, where he is also buried.
