A Concise Fiqh Book: Ṣāliḥ Āl ash-Shaykh Recommends al-Mulakhkhaṣ al-Fiqhī

Question: Is there a book, other than Fiqh as-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 ash-Shaykh replied:

Al-Mulakhkhaṣ al-Fiqhī (Summary of Islamic Jurisprudence) by Shaykh Ṣāliḥ ibn Fawzān ibn ʿAbd Allah al-Fawzān is very excellent.

Question: Shaykh, what about Bulūgh al-Marām?

Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Āl ash-Shaykh:

Bulūgh al-Marām is somewhat lengthy. Al-Mulakhkhaṣ al-Fiqhī is good and very excellent. If you have not read Ar-Rawḍ al-Murbiʿ (by al-Buhūtī) and Al-Ḥāshiyah (by ʿAbd ar-Raḥmān ibn Qāsim), then Al-Mulakhkhaṣ al-Fiqhī is suitable and beneficial.
