from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

ʿAlī ibn Abī Bakr al-Marghīnānī ( Arabic علي بن أبي بكر المرغيناني, DMG ʿAlī b. Abī Bakr al-Marġīnānī ) (died 1197 ) was a scholar of the Hanafi legal school of Islam . He came from Marġīnān, a place in the Ferghana Valley in Transoxania . He is the author of a very influential Hanafi legal compendium, the work Hidaya .

Hidaya

His Hidaya - actually a on a previous Muchtasar of al-Quduri based comment - has among the Hanafi one as important as the Minhadsch of al-Nawawi (died 1277th) in the Shafi'i . It is “arguably the most widely read book of Islamic jurisprudence in the Muslim world and is used as a primary text in Islamic schools and seminaries”, which has served for centuries as the cornerstone of legal studies in South Asian madrasas. The multi-volume work was first translated into English by Charles Hamilton (1753–1792).
