Question: Is there a book, other than Fiqh al-Sunnah by Sayyid Sābiq, that is comprehensive, concise, and brief, by which a person may answer and advise questioners?
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz Āl al-Shaykh (born 1378 AH / 1959 CE) replied:
Mulakhkhaṣ al-Fiqhī (Summary of Islamic Jurisprudence) by Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān al-Fawzān (born 1354 AH / 1933 CE) is very excellent.
Question: Shaykh, what about Bulūgh al-Marām?
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Āl al-Shaykh:
Bulūgh al-Marām is somewhat lengthy. Mulakhkhaṣ al-Fiqhī is good and very excellent. If you have not read al-Rawḍ al-Murbiʿ (by al-Buhūtī) and al-Ḥāshiyah (by ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Qāsim), then Mulakhkhaṣ al-Fiqhī is suitable and beneficial.
