Contradiction Between The Shi’i Ja’fari School And Historical Fact (Jadal al-Madhhab wa al-Tarikh) – (COMPLETE 14-12-2023)

Fiqh is an integral part of a Muslim’s life as it sets the rules and perimeters by which he carries himself in his daily life, whether it be matters pertaining to worship, social living and business, or even penal law. It is in relation to this that the Shia, particularly the Imami Shia, have adopted a Fiqhi school of thought which they call Jafari Fiqh or the Jafari Mazhab.

In this book, the author Muḥammad Salim al Khidr, unravels the reality of this Jafari Fiqh. Who was Jafar al-Sadiq? Why is this fiqh attributed to him? Is Jafari fiqh really the fiqh of Jafar al Sadiq? He explores all this and more, including its origin and rise to prominence.

The author exposes the contradictions and differences among the senior scholars of the sect regarding this fiqh, which is substantiated from their own literature.

Furthermore, the author investigates the credibility of the narrators of this School, again by furnishing evidences from their own literature.

This is an extremely well-researched and comprehensive book about the reality of Jafari fiqh, which would be extremely beneficial for all, scholars and non-scholars alike.
