Question:
This questioner asks, saying: What is your honorable opinion of the book *Fiqh al-Sunnah* by Sayyid Sabiq?
Answer:
This book is like other fiqh books. Its title, *Fiqh al-Sunnah*, is questionable; it is questionable, because it implies that it agrees with the Sunnah in every respect. It may contain errors and independent legal reasoning (ijtihad). It quotes extensively from the books of the Hanafis, which are good books, if Allah wills, and they contain fiqh. But to say that this is *Fiqh al-Sunnah* is questionable. This is an excessive endorsement. Yes.
