Al-Waraqat

الورقات في أصول الفقه

A concise primer on the principles of Islamic jurisprudence that covers the essential topics in just a few pages: types of legal rulings, linguistic principles, commands and prohibitions, general and specific texts, abrogation, consensus, analogical reasoning, and ijtihad. Despite its brevity, it became one of the most widely taught introductory texts on usul al-fiqh, with numerous commentaries written on it across the centuries.
