Shaykh Ibn Taymyah | Language: English | Format: PDF | Pages: 273 | Size: 15 MB
Praise be to Allah, the lord of the worlds. Blessings and peace be upon our leader Muhammad, his family, his companions, and those who follow his guidance until the day of judgement. Two major elements drove me to shoulder the responsibility of introducing a publication of such an imminent Imam like Ibn Taymyah to those who learn Islam from English literature. The first is the author who undoubtedly, needs no word that may attempt to crystallize his stance among other jurists, be they of his time or any other generation or place. The Fatawa's of Shaikh-ul-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (Rahimahullah). Though he preferred the Hanbali school of jurisprudence, he was never biased in favor of  it, he frequently quotes  the opinions of all four of the well-known schools of jurisprudence, even others. In a number of matters, he himself held  opinions different from those of the four schools. In fact, he was an original thinker who merely drew upon the wisdom of the four established schools. The book is divided into various topics ranging from Fasting, Marriage, Inheritance, Marriage and others. Translated by : Sayed Gad.

About Shaykh Ibn Taymiyah

Shaykh al-Islam  Taqi  ud-Din Abu'l-Abbas Ahmad Ibn al-Halim ibn Abd al-Salam Ibn Taymiyah al-Hanbali  was born in , 661 AH (1263 AC) in Haran, which is now in Eastern Turkey, near the border of northern Iraq.. His family had long been renowned for its learning , among his teachers, was Shams ud-Din Al Maqdisi, first Hanbali Chief Justice of Syria following the  reform of the judiciary by Baibars. The number of Ibn Taimiyah's teachers exceeds two hundred. Ibn Taimiyah was barely seventeen, when Qadi Al-Maqdisi  authorized him to issue Fatwa (legal verdict). Qadi remembered with pride that it was he who had first permitted an intelligent and learned man like Ibn  Taimiyah to give Fatwa. At the same age, he started delivering lectures. When he was thirty, he was offered the office of Chief Justice, but refused, as  he could not persuade himself to follow the limitations imposed by the authorities. Imam Ibn Taimiyah's education was essentially that of a Hanbali theologian and jurisconsult. But to his knowledge of early and classical Hanbalism, he  added not only that of the other schools of jurisprudence but also that of other  literature. He had an extensive knowledge of Quran, Sunnah, Greek philosophy, Islamic history, and religious books of others, as is evident from the variety of the  books he wrote.
