The Shaykh’s Commentary on Fath al-Bari
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is Your Eminence’s role in the takhrij (tracing to sources) of Fath al-Bari? And did that cover all the volumes, or only some of them?
Answer:
He did not trace anything except what is in the first and second volumes and part of the third, which deals with Hajj. This was twenty-five years ago, before we built the university in al-Madinah. When I became occupied with the university and its affairs, I stopped working on the commentary. So the commentary was only from the beginning up to the Book of Hajj.
