Fiqh al-Hadith: Taysir al-‘Allam

The class focuses on Fiqh al-Hadith — understanding the meaning of Prophetic narrations and the jurisprudential rulings and practical guidance derived from them. Students will explore key terminology, the overall meaning of each hadith, and the legal lessons and benefits drawn from the text.
