The Nominated Editors Space

Rules of fasting for Sunni Muslims. The Nominated is the translation of alMukhtaar lil Fatwaa (The Nominated for Issuing Edicts) which is one of the four, main Hanfiyy Fiqh books. The later Hanfiyy scholars highly approved following alMukhtaar for understanding Islamic Fiqh issues according to the Hanfiyy School. The Nominated - Fasting covers alMukhtaar's Fasting Book which strictly follows Imam Abu Hanifah's (80-150 AH) judgment as opposed to the judgment of his two companions Imam Abu Yusuf alQaadiy (113-183 AH) and Imam Muhammad binul Hasan ashShaybaaniyy (132-189 AH) as well as Imam Zufar binul Hudhayl (110-158 AH). Imam alMawsiliyy also tracks the judgments of those scholars, including Imam ashShafi`iyy (150-204 AH), when their judgments disagree with that of Imam Abu Hanifah.
