"It is the most comprehensive and useful abridgement to be found in Mālikī fiqh." (Farīd al-Anṣārī
)
The works of Ibn Juzayy partake of a particular miraculous quality of the last of the Messengers of Allah, may Allah bless him and them and grant them peace: they unite concision and comprehensiveness.
Comprehensively, the author presents both the range of judgments within the school of the People of Madīnah as well as the range of judgments among the madhhabs at large, but with concision in a single modest Arabic volume. He covers not only
and
but also
, other matters of
, and yet others pertaining to history, i.e. the
of the Messenger ﷺ, the
and Andalus.
His main concern is to say with clarity what the
IS, and then to note the legitimate differences, and sometimes the illegitimate ones in order to dismiss them. To show the spectrum of valid differences is vitally important in the age of literalism that says "tell me the
hadith so that I can act on it" or in its Mālikī version, "tell me the well-known judgment (
)." The author carefully lets the reader know the well-known judgments (
) but sets them within the spectrum of valid judgments from the luminaries among Mālik's students, such as Ibn al-Qāsim, Ashhab, Aṣbagh, Ibn Wahb and Ibn al-Mājishūn et al, who, it is well to remember, may simply be acting on what they learnt from Mālik himself.
Following Ibn Juzayy's own division of his work into two parts, we here publish Volume 1 containing the chapters on
reserving
for Volume 2.

He died as a
