Hanafi Fuqaha of our age !

[abu nibras]

assalam`alaikum,

Who are the best Fuqaha of our age ? I wish to complie a list inshaallah according to the four different madahibs.

A small note on why you think the faqih qulaifies to be listed amongst the best will also be appreciated. ( An unbiased scholarly opinion would be better still )

Please note that the practical realm of activity for the Fuqaha is much more beyond what we see on the Internet, so I would not be surprized to see some lesser known or totally new names here.

Since it is familiar grounds let us start with the Hanafi Fuqaha. Inshaallah.

Also should a list like the one I am hoping to compile be based on categories of region ?

Please post your inputs.

wassalam,

abu nibras

[Haroon]

Salam,

this is a most excellent topic, only thing is that i don't really know anyone who would be considered to be a faqeeh of the hanafi madhab. Would Shaykh Abdul Fattah Abu Ghuddah (ra) come under the category of contemporary faqeeh, since he only passed away a few years ago?

[abu nibras]

assalam`alaikum,

you know what - I dont know - probably this topic would be better answered if this was addressed to knowledgeable schoalrs who read more from the fuqaha of the day than what nincompoops like me do.

I was hoping to compile a list of living scholars as they are living resources and the fortunate ones can tap into them and benefit inshaallah.

the poignancy of our situation is that earthy celebrities interest us more than knowing our pious `ulema.

I found a farly nice list of contemporary scholars ( all madahibs) at htspub (http://212.67.202.62/~security/htspub/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=22) but again it is not comprehensive.

wassalam,

abu nibras

[Aqdas]

Can't the fuqaha be named by listing the major fatwa works? For example, I read the Mufti Shariful Haq Amjadi of Jamia Ashrafia, Mubarakpur, authored 70,000 fatawa.

[abu Hasan]

numbers my dear, are irrelevant.

your logic would put imam al-a`aDHam abu Hanifah far below his followers!

inspite of imam ahmed riDa's copious work, i vehemently oppose the categorization of 'so-many-plentiful' as the sole criterion to judge his genius. this is a fallacy that is somehow ingrained in our subconscious; we tend to weigh people's worth in how many - how many millions, how many books, how many followers...

i do not absolve myself of this either - as i said, it is ingrained in our subconscious that quantity =very great. i know of an author - islamic author - who has hundreds of books to his name; they are mediocre in both style and substance.

again, i don't say that numbers are absolutely useless. they have a merit, but judging one's genius ONLY by numbers is wrong. if i have not already stretched the point, i would say that 'number-of' is like zeroes. the higher the preceding digit, the better the value number of zeroes gives.

[naqshbandijamaati]

:s1:

About professor sahib, his books are excellent but I think he has a tendency to please whichever audience he is addressing; thus with shias he goes into hyperbolic praise of the ahlul bayt e it-haar and with 'modernists' his discourse becomes modern etc. YET i think his personal aqeedah is sound. wallahu 'alam.

***

another scholar who has written good works on fiqh is pirzada imdad hussain. they are aimed at youngsters in the west and very good for that purpose.

i know that the scholars of jamia nizammiya in lahore have published a lot of quality works.

another very learned scholar is mufti ghulaam rasool of alipur sharif who has written Fatawa Bartania (Britannia), a 2 volume work of Hanafi fiqh for Muslims living in the UK which answers questions of concern to us here. He is very old and frail now but you can see him attend the gyarwin sharif ocassionally of pir sayyid abd al qadir shah sahib al jilani of walthamstow, london. mufti sahib is a walking library. when he teaches he never has a book in front of him but does it from memory!

as for pir sayyid abdal qadir shah sahib al-jilani, i don't know about any written works, but he is the most knowledgable scholar i have yet seen. amazing. you can listen to his illuminating speeches at http://www.yanabi.com.

allama pir sayyid zahid hussain shah is another 'walking library'...

as for written works, i am not aware of many...which doesn't mean there aren't any...

can we list works in any islamic science by contemporary scholars and not just fiqh?[B]

[abu nibras]

assalam`alaikum,

I have split the topic and created a separte thread (http://www.sunniport.com/portal/viewtopic.php?t=409) for discussing the questiosn regarding Shaykh Tahir-ul-Qadri. now lets go on with this topic. inshallah

wassalam.

[Aqdas]

From Sidi abu Hasan:
talking of fuqaha, take mawlana nizamuddin, the chief mufti of ashrafiyyah. among the contemporaries, i have not seen anybody whose fatwa looks so close in style and exhaustive subject matter and cross references to ala hazrat's
Mufti Nizamuddin is head of the Darul Ifta at Ashrafia. His fatawa appear every month in the 'Fiqhiyat' section of the monthly Ashrafia. One or two of his fatawa about Sajda as-Sahw are also on Sunnipath.

[haroon qayum]

Assalam u Alaikum

There is Mufti Munib ur Rehman who I think has wrote a book on contemporary Fiqh Issues. He is the Principal of Dar ul Uloom Naeemia , Karachi http://www.naeemia.com . The learned Mufti visited the UK last summer.

There is also Mufti Shah Turab Ul Haq Qadri of Dar ul Uloom Amjadia, Karachi.

Sidi Asif mentioned Syed Zahid Shah Rizvi of Birmingham formerly of Nottingham. I know a brother who studied with the Syed and also in Syria and the Hijaz. The brother states “Syed Zahid is as learned if not better than anyone he has met “.

A brief biography of the Syed is below:-

Shaykh Syed Zahid Hussain Rizvi is one of the leading scholars of Islam in Europe today an outstanding teacher and an eloquent public speaker. He is a descendant of the Prophet Muhammad (SAW) and hails from a scholastic Syed family from Azad Kashmir, Pakistan.

He was trained in the Islamic Sciences under the close attention and supervision of the Muhaddith of Pakistan, Shaykh al-Muhaddith Muhammad Sardar Ahmed Qadri RA (a student and Khalifa of the Renewer of Islam in India, al-Imam al’Arif Billah Ahmed Rida Khan al Barelwi RA). The Shaykh studied the traditional Dars e Nizami curriculum and Hadith at the institution of the Muhaddith of Pakistan in Faislabad, Pakistan. During his stay in Faislabad the Shaykh also took the Qadri Rizvi spiritual path from his teacher.

At the behest of his spiritual guide and teacher Shaykh Zahid went on to Karachi in the pursuit of the Sacred Knowledge for a long period of time and studied with the leading ulama of the time including Allama Khalil Ahmad Khan Barkati ( a student of Allama Amjad Ali Azmi the author of the great encyclopaedia on Hanafi Fiqh – Bahare e Shariat), Allama Zafaruddin Bihari (a student and Khalifa of the Renewer of Islam in India, al-Imam al’Arif Billah Ahmed Rida Khan al Barelwi RA) and Allama Syed Muhammad Hashim Faazil Shamsi a graduate of the Shamsul Ata University at Bihar, India. The Shaykh then went on to study and graduate at the renowned University of Bahawalpur. Shaykh Zahid was given several ijazas by these ulama in various disciplines. He is indeed an ocean of knowledge and guidance in a time that ignorance is rife.

[Aqdas]

another very learned scholar is mufti ghulaam rasool of alipur sharif who has written Fatawa Bartania (Britannia)
There is also Fatawa Europe by a Mufti from Holland. The 1st volume is out. It's about 800 pages.

[a131d]

Assalaam alakum wr wb - I think it would be Sayyid Shaykh Muhammed Al-Yaqubie (Syria). And Allah knows best.

[abu nibras]

assalam`alaikum,

I am attaching an introduction in Urdu of one of the top Hanafi fuqaha of India, Hazrat Shaykh Mufti Khaleel Ahmed Nizami Damat Barkatuhum of Hyderbad Deccan , he is the Shaykh-ul-Jamia of the renowned Jamia Nizamia of Hyderabad Deccan.

He is so humble that if you dont know who he is or dont notice the nur that emanates from his presence he largely goes unnoticed, leads an extremely austere life with the bare minimum and works most of the time writing his Fatwas, teaching, delivering his weekly lectures while conducting the daily affairs of the Jamia and personally looking into the functioning of the institution and its affiliates which has around 25000 students.

'Hazrat Molana Shah Turab Al-'Haq (May Allah save him), Amir Ahl Sunnah Wal Jama'ah Karachi, is a renowned scholar and khalifa of 'Huzur Mufti 'Azam Rahimahullah, but he is not mufti. He has authored several books that are very popular on the market. Some of his books I rememer and have read are;

Imam A'dham - a compilation on Imam 'Adham Abu 'Hanifa Radi Allaho 'Anh, and an excellent reference for those who have listened to some objections from ahl 'hadath

Khawateen or Deeni Masail - a brief book covering necessary information for women related to their prayers ('ibadaat) and everyday life (mu'amlaat)

Mazaraat par 'Hazri - an excellent book on the proof of visiting graves and seeking help from the deceased friends of Allah (olia kiram). also discusses actions that are permitted or prohibited when visiting graves

Ziaul 'Hadith - a small collection of ahadeeth related to beliefs, incumbent prayers, importance and benefits of good manners ect.

Jamal-e-Mustafa - as the name implies, talks about the charisma of the best of creation in all respects, his holy physique, speech, and manners.

Tasawwuf or Tareeqat - it is a reply to a set of questions asked by his mureed about tasawwuf. it is a must read for beginners who want to learn about tasawwuf.

Tafseer Surah Fatih'a

Mubarak Ratain - a small book about all santified and blessed nights in a hijri calendar.

[mkahn133]

as-Salamu Alaykum ,

I was wondering if there were any works in English on the Hanafi Mathab by traditional scholars (either Barelwi Indian Ahlus Sunnah or Arab Ahlus Sunnah - please do not tell me about books by Deobandiya Scholars) that are available online for FREE or just available in the U.S. for ordering (specifically California)

[faqir]

i'm still trying to get that beard discussion you kindly scanned up translated for marifah.net

[faqir]

In the Middle East:

Shaykh Abdul Razzaq al-Halabi
Shaykh Adib Kallas

[Abu Fadl]

he has been refuted on the beard issue by the way and i have even heard he did ruju (took it backk) so it should not be put up.

[Chishti Nizami]

refuted maybe! (although i have not seen any "refutations").

No ruju though,otherwise he would have removed the argument from his work altogether or at least made it clear.

Its actually a very valid argument if one actually reads it,whether you agree or not with it is another matter.

[Abu Fadl]

the ruju was done recently, it was even published in one magazine. there are a few refutations of Allama Saeedi about. if you have a close contact with him then simply ask his permission before translating and putting it up.

[faqir]

as-salamu alaikum

Can you please show exactly where he said he has taken back or was mistaken on his fatwa on the beard?

I saw someone mention on yanabi:

"Mua'raf-e-Raza Sep 2005 by Idara tehqiqat Imam Ahmad Raza KarachMua'raf-e-Raza Sep 2005 by Idara tehqiqat Imam Ahmad Raza Karachi"


Have you actually seen this? Did sh. ghulam rasul sa'idi refer specifically to the beard article and if so, then has he given his reason why he was mistaken?


In the absence of any specific proof that he has taken back that section on the beard I see no reason to stop the translation.

jazakumAllahu khayran.

[faqir]

anyway, the arguments presented in his piece were certainly convincing and to be honest even if you do decisively prove his retraction I still think it would be a beneficial piece......

[Qasim Hanafi Ridwi]

Muhadith Kabeer Mumtaz ul Fuqahaa A'llamah Shaykh Zia ul Mustafa al Qadri Ibn Sadr us Sharia'h A'llamah Amjad A'li al Aa'zami hafizahullahu Ta'ala wa radi Allahu a'nhu.

2. his student, faqihu'n nafs, mufti muteeur rahman muztar rizwi

mufti muteeur rahman is the famous debater who always shatters the deobandi argument. he is highly praised by his teachers who vouch for his mastery of fiqh.

he worked on hayat e alaHazrat by mufti zafaruddin bihari which he helped compile in the 4 volume format.

[Aqdas]

mufti muteeur rahman is the famous debater who always shatters the deobandi argument.
a few years ago, he annihilated the deobandi debater, tahir gayawi, in front of a gathering of tens of thousands in katihar, bihar. the topic was khatm e nubuwat and nanotwi.

gayawi disappeared during the third day with the excuse of going for wudu. mawlana reminded gayawi of incidents in katihar in the debate that took place early this year where gayawi chose not to be the debater, only the helper.

wit: gayawi in punjabi would mean he's already gone!

Dear brothers/sisters, I wanted to draw your attention to a great Islamic Faqeeh of this Era, Ustadul Ulama, ustadul fuqaha, Hazrat Allama Mufti Muhammad Rafiq Al-hasni of karachi, we only know a little bit about him and his work as he is really a wali UllAH (as claimed by all of his students and who know him closely)and down to earth and tries to stay away from media and advertisement but , but he is a legend
let us refer to few of these videos posted on youtube about him where he is being priased and called MUFT-e-AZAm Ehl-e-Sunnat and MUfti-E-Azam Pakistan by MUfti MUneebu-ur-rehman , Hazrat Mufti Ghulam Muhammad Sialwi Sahabm, Dean of Faculty of Islamic studies

please click on the link below and look for videos posted about him
http://www.youtube.com/user/imowaisrafiq#play/all/uploads-all/1/CkWeyilpaJ8

The reason why he is called Mufti-e-Azam by Other great Mufti's and Ustadul Ulama is just because of his work that he has done in the field of Fiqah for the past 40 years.

His few books are
Rafeequl Ulama
Rafeequl Fuqaha
Rafeequl Qurra
Rafeequl zojain (about TalaQ)
Rafeequl Uroosain (about Nikah)
Rafeequl Hajj & Umrah
Rafeequl Saimeen(about Roza)
Rafeeul Mu'takifeen(about E'tikaf)
Qurbani kay masaail

this is a list of few of his books

His distinguished and researched fatawa Include

Namaz-e-Janaza in Masjid, he was the first one in pakistan who gave fatwa that namz-e-janaza should be prayed in the mosque when namzis are in the mosque and janaza should be outside the mosque.
This Fatwa was given about 20 years ago at the time when janazas were read in mosques car parks, on the roads and Parks in pakistan and EidGahs and not in the mosque,

Donation of human Organs
he gave fatwa which is accepted all the fuqaha in pakistan now that donation of human organ after death is JAAiz for the benefit of other muslim.
for details we can refer to his book "Chand Shar'ee Masaail"(few sharee masaail)

Use of Surma and eyemedicine in Roza is Jaaiz Ref: (Rafeequs Saimeen)
Use of Prize Bonds
Nikah through phone, text messgage, video phone ,through letters (rafeequz zojain)

Rafeequz Zojain is very interesting book containg more than 400 pages on masaail like, sharee way to keep relationship with wife (including todays problem) a gift to newly married couple,
it also includes using siyah Khizab and lots of other important masaail

he is also a teacher very renowned scholars and muftis of this time and through his work and he is gaining sawab everyday alHamdu liLLAH

this was just a short glimpse of HAZRAT ALLAMA MUFTI MUHAMMAD RAFIQ HASSANI NAQSHBANDI MUJADDIDI (MUHTAMIM OF JAMIA ISLAMIA MADINATUL ULOOm karachi)
if anyone wants to contact him about personally speaking to him , they can contact him on his DARUL FATAWA NUMBER 0092-21-4619190 or 0092-300-9244269

I have posted his detail only and only for sawab purposes as anyone learns anything by speaking to him or by reading his books after reading this post , will sawb me inshaAllah as well , May Allah forgive our sins and keep us the on the right past and keep us following the right people and auliya Allah

1. Asbab-e-Sitta [an excellent thorough book]
2. The Ahkam rules of blood transfusion, blood donation and so forth
3. Shares and modern marketing

Donation of human Organs
he gave fatwa which is accepted all the fuqaha in pakistan now that donation of human organ after death is JAAiz for the benefit of other muslim. for details we can refer to his book "Chand Shar'ee Masaail"(few sharee masaail)

.....

Nikah through phone, text messgage, video phone ,through letters (rafeequz zojain)


And who are the fuqaha who have accepted this?
And do you also say that Nikah through the telephone, text messaging and through letters is accepted? Brother, this really does not sound like issues that are accepted by all the fuqaha.

[mSohail]

DEAR brother, I would like to thank yo to pay attention to the thread and and moreover , you took time and asked me about these problem that I mentioned above.

First of all as I said above , Sayyedna Hazrat Allama Mufti Rafiq Al-Hassani Mujaddadi is accepted Mufti-e-Azam by other great Muftis of this Era like Hazrat Allama Mufti Muneebur Rehman(Muhtamim Jamia Neemia Karachi, Chairman Tanzeemul Madaris Pakistan, Chairman Pakistan Roet-e-Hilal Comittee), Hazrat Allama Ghulam Rasool Saeedi (SHAREH SAHEEH MUSLIM), Hazrat Allama Ghulam Muhammad Sialwi (Shekhul Hadeeth wa Muhtamim Jamia Shamsul Uloom Karachi), Hazrat Allam Ghulam Dastageer Afghani, Doctor Allama Noor Ahmad Shahtaz ( Dean Of Faculty OF ShariaH oF Karachi University )
These are few names , but Sayyedna Hazrat Allama Mufti Rafiq Al-Hassani is a Great Teacher of other Muftis and Ulama as well.
So Mufti Sahab is accepted as an Authority in FIQAH BY ALL THESE MUFTIS.
Hazrat Mufti Sahab is one of the only few experts in the world of ILMul MeeraTH (Shariah Law Of Inheritance), His students include Lawyers and solicitors in Pakistan)
Dear Respected Brothers
Mufti sahab Fatwa's and research also include and he was the first one to do research and give fatawas on the Following Challenges faced by Islam today

Islamic Way of Slaughter Of Animals Via Machines
Test Tube Babies
Cloning as in human Cloning etc
Islamic History and dawn of the dinosaurs

His fatawa references are given in Sharah Muslim shareef by Allama Ghulam Rasool Saeedi especially on Islamic Way of Slaughter Of Animals Via Machines.

Qibla Mufti Sahab is one of The Great Aalims and WaliUllah of this time. One of the great daleel(evidence) is that he is Khaleefah Of HAZRAT KHUWAJA-E- KHUWAJGAN HAZRAT PEER GHULAM HASSAN SIWAG RADIALLAHU ANH) and he tries to stay away from public and such a down to earth person in this age that if you want to become a mureed , he will be hesitant and will tel to go to some other great peer as he is not that worthy.

Qibla Mufti sahab is Vice Chairman of Rooet-e-Hilal Committee with Muneebur Rehman Sahab , but tries to stay away from media. May Allah Provide Mufti Sahab with age of KHIZAR Alaihi SSalam

I have requested Mufti Sahabs' few books from His Madrassah, as soon as I get them I will inform you all and then if anyone wishes to have a look will be welcome

another Great GREAT GREAT AALIM WAS HAZRAT USTAZUL ULAMA HAZRAT ALLAMA ATA MUHAMMAD BANDYALWI SAHAB REHMATULLAH ALAIH. WE ARE STILL RECIEVING HIS FAIZ BY HIS STUDENTS ALL OVER THE WORLD AND HE IS GETTING SAWAB WITH EVERY PASSING MOMENT
