The Best Relied-Upon Books of Fiqh

Finally, he asks and says: What are the best books of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) that can be relied upon?
Answer: There are many books of fiqh, but among the best are: *Al-Mughni* by Ibn Qudamah, specifically Muwaffaq al-Din Abdullah ibn Ahmad ibn Qudamah. It is a good and beneficial book that mentions scholarly disagreement and evidence. *Sharh al-Muhadhdhab* by al-Nawawi and its completion, *Al-Furu'* by Ibn Muflih in the Hanbali school of jurisprudence, and *Al-Iqna'* and *Al-Muntaha* in the Hanbali school, and *Al-Rawd al-Murba'* in the Hanbali school and its marginal notes. It has good marginal notes by Shaykh Abd al-Rahman ibn Qasim (may Allah have mercy on him). There are also other books in the other schools of jurisprudence, such as *Al-Mudawwanah* in the Maliki school (may Allah have mercy on him), and *Fath al-Qadir* in the Hanafi school. All of these are beneficial books, but the believer should pay attention to the evidence and strive for books that contain evidence and clarify the stronger position in scholarly disagreement. If a student of knowledge is unable to understand these matters, he should ask the scholars about what is difficult for him, and memorize concise books such as *Umdat al-Habib* in hadith, and *Bulugh al-Maram*, so that he can use them to help in knowing the evidence. Also, *Matn al-Zad*... for the Hanbalis, or *Matn al-Dalil*, or *Al-Umdah*, or *Al-Umdah* by al-Muwaffaq in fiqh, or similar concise books from the other schools of jurisprudence, so that he can use them to help in knowing the fiqh issues and reviewing their evidence. Yes.
