شرح الأقطع على مختصر القدوري

This special, year-long course taught in Arabic is a reading and study of the commentary of the Mukhtasar of Imam al-Quduri (d. 428 AH) by Abu Nasr al-Aqta’ (d. 474 AH), the student of Quduri himself. This marvellous work is from the Iraqi fiqh tradition in which the commentator seeks to explain to the student the method of law construction, yet with brevity. al-Aqta‘ abridged his commentary from the books of his shaykh, Imam al-Quduri, and he also made significant additions to it, just as Quduri did before him with Karkhi’s Mukhtasar. This is an excellent opportunity to learn the underlying usul of the Hanafi school, how the masters engaged with the law and its proofs, and how they beautifully recognised patterns and consistency across the entire law. (THIS IS LATE REGISTRATION–SEE DETAILS BELOW)

Description: Recordings, resources, the course text, and access to the Telegram group and forum, will be available to registered students. This course is taught in Arabic, but questions, comments and discussions from the student can be posed in English. **Students registering in or post Ramadan 2023 have missed the section on worship (recordings available), but they will be able to attend live for the remainder of the course.**
