by Allah’s permission, through this book, we will present to you a selection of information drawn from the jurisprudential legacy that our scholars have extracted and recorded in their works. We shall offer you whatever portion of this is within our reach, hoping it will motivate you to benefit from it and to seek ever more of that which is useful.

We ask Allah to endow us and you with beneficial knowledge and to grant us success in righteous action. We beseech Him, exalted is He, to show us the truth as truth and enable us to follow it, and to show us falsehood as falsehood and enable us to shun it. Surely He is All-Hearing, Ever-Responsive.
