Abu Hanifa said: "Fiqh is to know that which is for and against oneself"

It might be worth compiling a list of reliable fiqh resources for new Muslims here.


Maliki Fiqh Resources

[from Alex's blog]

1. http://ourworld.comp...ley/Page17.html

2: (partial) http://ourworld.comp...wley/Malik.html and
http://ourworld.comp...ewley/usul.html

3: (Not to be confused with he forthcoming “Original Islam & the Madhhab of Medina” about which there has been some controversy) http://www.amazon.co...-...9947&sr=1-3
4: I have Dr. Umar’s thesis (800+ pages). If you’re going to ISNA, I’ll bring for you on a thumb drive. Bring your laptop.

5: http://islamicbookstore.com/b9260.html

6: http://www.astrolabe...slamic_Law.html

7: http://kitaabun.com/...fd2eceafce80e1b

8: http://www.seekingil...oks/murshid.pdf (bear in mind this is a literal translation, mainly useful as a crutch for the Arab-speaking student. There are also no explanatory notes, such that it remains less than useful as a learning resource.)

9: http://kitaabun.com/...?products_id=28

10: Sheikh Abdullah’s lectures are in Arabic (obviously) but I have his series on usul al-fiqh translated by Sheikh Hamza. I can lend it to you if:
A- You return it! and
B- You do NOT make a copy.
