About the Text

Zād al-Mustaqniʿ, authored by Imām Mūsā al-Ḥajjāwī (d. 968H), is a concise abridgment of Ibn Qudāmah’s al-Muqniʿ. This work has been widely accepted by Ḥanbalī scholars, to the extent that some have remarked that mastering its memorization and comprehension qualifies one to serve as a judge. This text is particularly suited for students who have already studied an introductory work in Ḥanbalī fiqh and are seeking to build upon their foundational knowledge.

Aims & Objectives

The objective is to complete the entire text, by the will of Allāh ﷻ. This term, we will resume from Kitāb al Nikāḥ (The Book of Marriage). The course is designed to equip students with a comprehensive understanding of the legal rulings (masāʾil) in fiqh according to the Ḥanbalī school. Through this study, students will establish a strong foundation, enabling them to develop a deeper appreciation of the principles and philosophy of Islamic law. New students are warmly welcome to join!

FAQ

  • Who is this course for?

    This course is designed for students with prior studies in fiqh and is not suitable for those with no previous exposure to the subject. While knowledge of Arabic is not essential, it is preferred. Please note that this course follows the Ḥanbalī school of thought, and instruction will be strictly within its framework. It is not a class in comparative fiqh.

  • How are the classes delivered?

    The classes will be conducted live via Zoom, featuring high-quality audio and visuals to ensure an optimal learning experience. Sessions are interactive, allowing students to ask questions through both audio and the chat box. Additionally, a dedicated Telegram channel will be available, providing students with direct access to the teacher for continued engagement throughout the course. The classes will be delivered in English.

  • How long is the course for?

    This is an open-ended class, meaning there is no fixed completion date, unlike other courses.

Class Schedule: • Day: Tuesdays • Time: 7:30 – 9:30 PM BST • Resuming: April 1, 2025 • Term Duration: 16 Weeks

    Weekly multiple-choice assessments will be assigned to reinforce learning and ensure comprehension. These assessments will be concise and will be reviewed at the beginning of each class, allowing students to clarify any misunderstandings and track their progress effectively.

  • Is live attendance mandatory?

    Attendance is highly encouraged but not mandatory. If a student misses a class, they can access the recording on the student portal. Please note: • Each recording will be available for only 2 weeks after the lesson. • Lifetime access is not provided, as students are expected to attend regularly and complete the course within the designated term time.

  • Can I get access to previous recordings?
