مرقاة الوصول إلى علم الأصول

In this intermediate-level course in Hanafi Legal Theory (usul al-fiqh), students will dive into an in-depth study of Mulla Khusro’s famed primer, Mirqat al-Wusul ila ‘Ilm al-Usul, which was subject to tens of commentaries and glosses amongst the Ottoman scholarly class given that it was a standard madrasa textbook. As he masterfully does in his Durar, the author brings together many issues, summarising them as well as responding to common objections. Students will study this text in detail covering issues discussed in Mulla Khusro’s Mir’at al-Usul as well.
