This book was published, which includes between its covers several jurisprudential issues that frequently occur and in which it is important for Muslims to know the legal ruling on them. It is a collection of letters from several sheikhs, imams of jurisprudence who are knowledgeable in matters of religion. It began with a letter that talks about “the forgiven blood” by Shihab al-Din. Al-Habrawi Al-Shafi’i, then the discussion of the permissibility of combining prayers while traveling, following the school of Imam Al-Shafi’i, by the scholar Mahmoud Shukri Al-Hanafi. At a later stage, a treatise was presented on adherence to one of the schools of thought, then a treatise on imitation and its rulings, with clarification of the correct and noble statement on preventing intercourse with a perjurer without a tahlil, so that these treatises are concluded with the opening of the Generous and Merciful regarding what is forgiven for the one who complies with the pillars; This work is one of the great works that explains some jurisprudential matters, so that the life of the Muslim person may be straightened out.
