This module covers selected chapters from the Lubab a commentary of the Mukhtasar of Imam Quduri. 

The first selection will be the chapters related to acts of worship (ibadaat), including purity, salat, zakah, fasting, and hajj. 

The next selection will be chapters related to marriage, divorce, and child custody.

Finally, students will study chapters on Islamic commercial law where they will look at the fundamentals of Islamic business transactions and how they function.

Special attention will be given to the method of reading legal texts, extracting rulings and expanding knowledge and awareness of Hanafi jurists and the legal works of the school. Each chapter will have a practical element where the application of legal rulings to contemporary cases will be exercised. 

The assessment designed for this module is a written exam.

Upon completion of this module, students will gain proficiency in studying and understanding a large selection of legal rulings along with the application of those rulings in a modern context. This will enable students to enrol onto more advanced levels of study in fiqh and potentially work their way towards the advanced Specialisation in Fiqh and Ifta’ Program offered at the institution. 

This course is a module from the Advanced Islamic Jurisprudence Program.

What our students say about the program

“…The institute is built around a developed level of study, it broadens your mind to a new way of living. The style of teaching is very well adapted to the times we live in which is essential for any British Muslim seeking out Islam. I recommend the institute to all seekers of Islam and pray Allah makes it easy for you.”

Shirin Sheth, UK

“Alhamdulillah very pleased to have joined this course. A must take for grads of Dars e Nizami courses. The lessons create confidence for those serving their communities as imams, teachers etc. and make up for the deficiencies/laziness from the days of studying in madrassah. Masha’allah I can only describe the teachers as Gems, full of knowledge and also ready to help. Taking this course has opened up to me just how much more there is to learn!”

Zayd Mehtar, UK

“The Advanced Jurisprudence course has been a very beneficial experience for me. Not only are the instructors demonstrably knowledgeable in their respective fields, but they are great teachers. Students are encouraged to ask questions in class and instructors make themselves available through discussion forums.”

Umm Abdillah

“Despite being an online student and not being in-person at the Institute, I have found that the course has helped me to make the jump from simply sufficing with the text I am studying to regularly referring to other texts and resources to verify my understanding and to gain more depth, both because of the teachers and other students. It has also enabled me to understand the abwab of Fiqh much better than I had before, which in turn has increased my confidence when needing to convey masa’il to others.”

Imran Ahmed

“Immensely beneficial and completely interactive course, gave me the right understanding and confidence of even the most complex masa’il. In buyu’ (trade), it gave good insight in dealings with contracts of sharikah, mudarabah, waqf, hiba, wakalah, Kafalah, etc…… This course taught me to be responsible, liable, scrupulous and accountable in my everyday actions, dealings and speech. My personal message to Alims and Alimas is … take up these courses and develop yourselves in a short span of time, and become a source of guidance and spread the noor of this ilm in your community …. No words can do justice for what this course gave me. Alhamdulillah.”
