Study

Study that shows its working

Lessons on prayer, purification, belief and zakat, each one stating which school holds what, and each one carrying the source it came from.

An answer that will not name its source is an opinion. Every lesson here names the work it came from.

What it does

01

The schools, side by side

Where the Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali and Ja'fari positions differ, the lesson gives each position and the reasoning behind it rather than picking one and calling it the answer.

02

Sourced, down to the citation

Classical works and contemporary rulings are named where they are used, so a reader can go and check.

03

A glossary that assumes nothing

Every term of art the library uses, defined in plain words: fard, wajib, sunnah, rak'ah, wudu, janabah, and the rest, with aliases so it does not matter how you have seen it spelled.

04

The gaps are declared

Fasting, hajj and parts of zakat are not covered to the standard the rest of the library is held to. The app lists what is missing rather than quietly leaving it out.

The rule this is held to

Cite the source, and declare the gaps

Every lesson names the work it came from and gives each school's position rather than choosing one for you. Where the library does not yet cover a subject to that standard, it says which subject and it says so on the page, because silence about a gap is a claim to have filled it.

Worth knowing

  • Fasting, hajj and parts of zakat are not yet covered to the standard the rest of the library is held to. The app lists what is missing.
  • It is a reference for what the schools hold and where to read further, not a substitute for a teacher.

Questions people ask

Who wrote the lessons?

They are compiled from named classical and contemporary sources, each cited in the lesson. Where a question is genuinely unsettled between schools, the lesson says so.

Is this a substitute for a teacher?

No. It is a reference for what the schools hold and where to read further.
