In this short and free course, Sh Bilal will provide an introduction to one of the 4 major schools of Islamic Jurisprudence – the Hanbali Madhab. The course is divided into two sections:
- Introduction
- Explanation of Furu al Fiqh
In the introduction, Sh Bilal will cover a brief biography of Imam Ahmad (may Allah have mercy on him), an overview of the Hanbali Madhab (its principles and features), and introduce the text, “Furu al Fiqh”.
The second part of this course is going over the text, Furu al Fiqh, covering the major topics in Islamic law/jurisprudence. The purpose of the text is to provide a basis and framework for the beginning student of knowledge, sticking to one and the authoritative opinion in the madhab. It is written by Ibn Abdelhadi (909 A.H), known as Ibn Mabrid, and is the shortest summary of Hanbali Fiqh.
