Ash-Sharh al-Kabir

الشرح الكبير

By Abu al-Barakat ad-Dardir 1201h (1786 CE) 4 volumes

A major Maliki fiqh commentary on the Mukhtasar of Khalil ibn Ishaq, which is the central text of later Maliki jurisprudence. Ad-Dardir's commentary is clear and well-organized, and together with ad-Dusuqi's super-commentary (Hashiyat ad-Dusuqi), it forms the primary reference for Maliki legal rulings.
