Fiqh of Tahara

In this class we will explain, with Allah’s permission, the wisdom of Islamic Law in matters pertaining to Purification using al-Hafidh Ibn Hajr al-Asqalani’s concise hadith collection “Bulugh al Maraam min Adilatil Ahkam.” We will explore the immense treasure of knowledge and explanatory material left behind by our noble predecessor Ulema, including the rulings of the four madhahab and others. Those who meet the attendance and graduation requirements of the class will be granted a Certificate of Sanad (authoratative chain) in the ahadith covered.
