This is a translation of the first volume of Shaykh Salih al-Fawzan’s excellent 3 part commentary on the classical guide to the Hanbali madhab entitled Zad al-Mustaqni’. It covers the Book of Purification, the Book of Prayer, the Book of Funerals, the Book of Zakat, the Book of Fasting, the Book of Rites, the Book of Jihad and the Book of Food.

Shaykh Bakr Abu Zayd said in al-Madkhal al-Mufassal:

‘Zaad al-Mustaqni’ fī Ikhtisar al-Muqni’ is the text that came to be considered as the main source for the study of the Hanbali madhab (school of jurisprudence) and quintessential for the students in the land of the Hanābilah (i.e. the Arabian Peninsula); particularly in the region of Najd. The people busied themselves reading, memorizing and writing commentaries upon this book. This was carried out in study circles in the masājid where the scholars imparted knowledge to others and also formal learning institutions. This book was studied in-depth so much so that some scholars provided explanations just upon the phrases within it so as to make it easy for the new learner. This was expanded to include proofs and evidence for those in the intermediate level. In the levels thereafter, proofs and evidence were fused with the disputes that exist within the madhab and in comparison to the other madhabs.
