Manhaj al-Sālikīn (Path of the Wayfarer) is a foundational text in Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh), rooted primarily in the Ḥanbalī school of thought. Authored by Shaykh ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Nāṣir al-Saʿdī (d. 1376 AH), this work is distinguished by its clarity and conciseness, deliberately avoiding complex and rare legal issues that the average person is unlikely to encounter.
Designed as an accessible introduction to Islamic law, Manhaj al-Sālikīn serves as an ideal starting point for those seeking to understand the essential acts of worship, including purification, prayer, funerals, zakāh, fasting, and ḥajj. Additionally, it provides guidance on key social and financial transactions, covering topics such as trade, marriage, divorce, and inheritance.
Volume 1 focuses on the rulings related to worship, while Volume 2 will address the remaining chapters of the book. To facilitate ease of study, the original Arabic text is included alongside the translation, allowing readers to engage with the work in its original language while benefiting from its English rendition.
