Classes: Saturday 10pm (Cairo time)

Number of classes: 15 (1 hour per class)

In this course the first part of the important book Al-Manhaj al-A?mad f? Dar?I al-Math?lib allat? tunm? l-Madhhab al-Im?m A?mad, by Shaykh ?Abd All?h bin ?afw?n al-Qad?m?, is taught by Shaykh Y?suf b. ??diq Al-?anbal?.

In this book the author responds to certain issues in fiqh and ?aq?dah that in his time were falsely attributed to the ?anbal? Madhhab. He clarifies these issues at length, in doing so showing the correct stances of the traditional ?anbal? madhhab. In essence he responded to certain positions of Shaykh al-Isl?m Ibn Taymiyyah that that can?t be attributed to the madhab including: the issue of three divorces, visiting the grave of the Messenger of All?h ? and others related to the ?aq??id of the ?an?bilah.

This is a very important course for students of the ?anbal? Madhhab who want to learn about the correct positions of the authentic ?anbal? Madhhab regarding certain sensitive issues in fiqh and ?aq?dah; and how its scholars responded and dealt with the opinions of shaykh al-Isl?m Ibn Taymiyyah. It is an especially relevant course due to some cults still clinging to his position in these matters, perceiving them to be positions that represent the Madhhab.

This is the first part of a two-part series that will cover the entire book. This part will focus on the fiqh related issues, while the second part will focus on the issues of ?aq?dah.

All the classes are given in English.

Upon completion of the course an ij?zah is handed out.
