Islamic jurisprudence: Us?u?l al-Fiqh (Islamic law and jurisprudence series / Zafar Ishaq Ansari)

This work addresses the need to educate people by providing a readable book of reasonable answers which covers the myriad questions that fall in the jurisdiction of that discipline. It seeks to provide both the lay and specialized readership and especially university students. A handy reader, it is simple and lucid. Undoubtedly, this is a subject that is replete with subtleties that challenge even the most intelligent minds. It is gratifying that the author has greatly simplified the subject to serve the needs of the non-specialists. The simplification of the subject, however, has gone hand in hand with thoroughness and academic rigor. This work will be a significant addition to the textbooks available on the subject in English.
