Description

Mukhtasar al-quduri hanafi fiqh manuscript, dated 976 AH / 1568–1569 AD, By Imam Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Quduri Al Baghdadi Al Hanafi (d. 428 AH / 1037 AD). Copied by Quraish daughter of Muhammed bin Ahmad Alnahrawali Almaki in 976 AH (1568–1569 AD).

A classical Arabic manuscript of Mukhtasar al-Quduri, one of the most authoritative and widely studied texts of Hanafi Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). The work summarizes rulings on worship, transactions, marriage, inheritance, and other areas of law. This fine 16th-century copy is written in black naskh script with red headings, reflecting the scholarly manuscript tradition of early Ottoman-era Islamic law.
