Al-Muhalla fi Ilm Usul al-Fiqh

Author: Hisham bin Abdul Karim Al-Badrani

This book, Al-Muhalla fi Ilm Usul al-Fiqh (The Embellished in the Science of the Fundamentals of Jurisprudence), is an explanation of "Tawdih al-Mushkilat min Kitab al-Waraqat." It is not a conventional explanation in the science of thought and the principles of Sharia knowledge. Rather, it is a new creation that brings benefits that clarify the obscurities of the profound aspects of jurisprudential issues and opens the doors of its secrets to minds. It reveals the hidden treasures of the science of Usul to students in a practical language and a pragmatic discourse that combines the eloquence of language, the precision of thought, and the clarity of the method of contemplation. This enables the discerning individual to strengthen their faculty of Sharia comprehension and stimulate their productive thinking power. Al-Muhalla is not a traditional explanation of the theoretical science of Usul al-Fiqh; rather, it is an intellectual reflection guided by the principles of Sharia. It delves into the depths of Imam Al-Mahalli's book (Tawdih al-Mushkilat Sharh al-Waraqat) on Imam Al-Juwayni's Al-Waraqat, extracting from its exposition the understandings and benefits presented by numerous previous commentaries. The commentator also added insights necessitated by the ideas of the current era and the repercussions of its cultural debates at the level of thought and application. The author guides the reader to the paths of truth amidst متشابك ideas, intertwined understandings, and difficult discussions, seeking to renew the call for contemplation and to motivate action.
