An Introduction to Zad al-Mustaqni’

This is a summary of fiqh from the Muqni‘ of Imam al-Muwaffaq, Abu Muhammad (b: `Abd Allah bin Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Qudama al-Maqdasi; may Allah immerse him in His mercy and give back to us from his blessings) following one opinion: the most superior in the mathab of Ahmad (b: bin Hanbal al-Shaybani). I have hopefully removed issues (masa‘il) that rarely occur and I have added what is relied upon, since aspirations have lowered and reasons which preoccupy from reaching the goal are numerous. In spite of its small size, what it does include frees need of lengthiness.
