The books the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) recommends to the student of knowledge for studying the subject of fiqh.

The Shaykh: By "Siddiq Hasan Khan".

The questioner: On all topics.

The Shaykh: "Al-Rawdat al-Nadiyyah Sharh al-Durar al-Bahiyyah," do you see the black book over there? It is three volumes, "Fiqh al-Sunnah."

The questioner: Three volumes.

The Shaykh: I saw three volumes of "Fiqh al-Sunnah," red and white. I went through a black volume of it. This is "Al-Rawdat al-Nadiyyah Sharh al-Durar al-Bahiyyah," which is the one we recommend.

The questioner: This covers all topics.

The Shaykh: Yes, all the chapters of fiqh, I mean.

The questioner: All the chapters of fiqh.

The Shaykh: Yes.

The questioner: May Allah reward you with good, and also "Subul al-Salam."

The Shaykh: Yes, "Subul al-Salam" is an explanation, not fiqh; it is an explanation of hadiths. "Nail al-Awtar" and many other books come after that, but as a book on fiqh...

The questioner: "Al-Rawdat al-Nadiyyah."

The Shaykh: "Al-Rawdat al-Nadiyyah," yes. And we recommend after that a concise book by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah called "Al-Ikhtiyarat al-'Ilmiyyah." It is a volume like this; this black volume is "Al-Ikhtiyarat al-'Ilmiyyah by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah."
There is no god but Allah.

The questioner: Peace be upon you.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
