Question:
In her question, this questioner says: Is there a concise and simplified explanation of the book *Umdat al-Ahkam*? And what are the fiqh books that you recommend we read? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
*Umdat al-Hadith* has explanations by Ibn Daqiq al-Eid and by other scholars, including Shaykh Abdulaziz ibn Faisal (may Allah have mercy on him) and Shaykh Abdullah ibn Basam. It has excellent and beneficial explanations. The hadiths in it are clear, praise be to Allah, so whoever memorizes it will understand their meanings easily. They are clear hadiths in clear Arabic, and they have beneficial explanations, praise be to Allah. The same hadiths are explained in *Muslim* and in *al-Bukhari*, because they are from the hadiths of the two Sahihs.
So I advise memorizing *Umdat al-Hadith*, a good book by Shaykh Abdul Ghani ibn Abdul Wahhab al-Maqdisi. Memorizing this book is very important and beneficial. Likewise, *Bulugh al-Maram* by al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar, and *al-Arba'un al-Nawawiyyah*, and its completion by Ibn Rajab, which totals fifty beneficial hadiths from the concise words of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I advise memorizing them. Also, *Umdat al-Fiqh* by al-Muqaddam is concise, and *Zad al-Mustaqni* by Shaykh Musa al-Hajjawi is a beneficial and concise book in fiqh.
Among the books that one should pay attention to in matters of creed are: *Kitab al-Tawhid*, *Kashf al-Shubuhat*, *Thalathat al-Usul*, and *al-Qawa'id al-Arba'*, all by Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him). They are beneficial in creed. Also, *al-'Aqidah al-Wasitiyyah* by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah is an important book in creed. We advise memorizing these books, caring for them, and studying them with men and women, because they are beneficial and clear, without complexity.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good, O Shaykh.
