Description

Risālah by Imām Ibn Abī Zayd alQayrawānī is a concise, timeless manual that makes Mālikī fiqh accessible to youth, beginners, and busy families. Rooted in early North African scholarship, this handbook presents Aqīdah, purification, Ṣalāh, Zakāh, Ṣawm, family law, transactions, and even less common rulings with clarity and practical wisdom—perfect for classroom use, home study, or personal reference.

Its structured lessons help learners resist confusion, answer misconceptions with knowledge, and build a faith that is both informed and compassionate.

The Author

Imam Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani ﵀ (d. 386 AH)

Kairouan (modern Tunisia)—a vibrant capital of Western Islamic civilization—served as the formative environment for ʿAbdullah bin Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani ﵀, widely commemorated across North Africa as ‘The Little Malik’. He displayed a natural genius for jurisprudence from early youth. Seeking out the elite authorities of his era, he refined his training under masters like Abu Saʿid ibn al-Aʿrabi, mastering the complex legal methodology of Imam Malik bin Anas ﵀. His career was defined by a profound struggle against the hostile geopolitical reality of the Fatimid Caliphate, an empire that used intense political pressure, intimidation, and threats of execution to erase mainstream Sunni scholarship and enforce state theological doctrines.

Imam Ibn Abi Zayd ﵀ risked his status, freedom, and life to protect the mainstream Muslim community. Refusing to alter his public legal edicts or compromise his creed to secure political safety, he stood as an immovable pillar of truth in Kairouan. He consistently rejected lucrative state appointments intended to co-opt his pen, choosing relative material simplicity over political compliance. Even while subjected to continuous state surveillance, he used his personal wealth to support the families of persecuted scholars, ensuring that the legacy of prophetic inheritance remained an objective shield for the Ummah rather than a tool for the ruling elite.

Recognizing that a generation of Muslims was growing up under severe ideological distortion, he overcame state-sponsored oppression by writing clear, concise texts designed to decentralize Islamic education. Alongside advanced treatises like Al-Nawadir wa-l-Ziyadat and Mukhtasar al-Mudawwanah stands his absolute masterpiece, Risalah. Written when he was just seventeen years old, this elegant manual beautifully bridges orthodox creed with everyday practice.
