About the book
The book “Bidāyat alMubtadī” is of significant academic and scientific importance as the leading reference for the Ḥanafī School of jurisprudence. Indeed, it is considered the key reference and one of the principal accredited texts and renowned abridgments in the Ḥanafī School. This is due to its intimate relationship with the most famous and widely disseminated of Ḥanafī texts, the mainstay of the majority of succeeding texts, namely alHidāyah , also by alImām alMarghīnānī. Indeed, alHidāyah is an abridgement that fully captures the essence of Bidāyat alMubtadī.
This work collected abundant information in a concise form, analysing and correcting scholars’ memorable expressions, supported by juristic treatment and examination, and rendered in superior language and fine style. It achieved this by combining “alJāmiʿ alṢaghīr” by alImām Muḥammad b. alḤasan, and “Mukhtaṣar alImām alQadūrī” with important additions.
The book was critically edited and emended based on eight manuscript copies. The oldest dated back to 633 A.H., forty years after the author’s death.
The author is ‘Alī b. Abū Bakr alMarghīnānī, a prominent figure among Ḥanafī early jurists mujtahid. He was also a scholar of prophetic tradition, exegesis, and jurisprudence, in the class of Ibn Rushd in his work “Bidāyat alMujtahid wa Nihāyat alMuqtaṣid” in the Mālikī school, and “alWajīz” by alGhazālī on which Shāfi‘ī jurisprudence is founded.
