Jewel Jalil. An Epitome of Hanbalī Substantive Law. Birmingham, Dar al-Arqam, 2018.

This book is a translation of Yūsuf b. Abd al-Hādī's (d. 909/1503) Hanbalī law manual, Kitab furü al-fiqh. The purpose of this rendition is to present the main aspects of Islamic law in a simple and modern manner. The manual at hand is considered to be the shortest law manual in the Hanbalī school. The translation covers the articles of law pertaining to the aspects of worship (ibādāt) and social dealings (mu'āmalāt). The appendix contains a translation of the chapters of fasting and devotional seclusion from Ibn Qudāma's (d. 620/1223) Hanbalī law manual, al-Muqni. A rendition of Ibn 'Aqīl's (d. 513/1119) treatise on Islamic manners, Fuşül al-ādāb wa makārim al-akhlaq al-mashrü'a, has been included to compliment the articles of law.
