Umdat al-Talib | Hanbali Disciples

ʿUmdat al-Ṭālib

The Seeker's Mainstay

Manṣūr b. Yunūs b. Idrīs al-Buhūti

ʿUmdat al-Ṭālib, compliant with the official Hanablite canon, covers the full spectrum of topics pertaining to Islamic jurisprudence in a masterfully abridged and accessible manner.

Accordingly, the scholar and expert of the school, Ibn Badrān deemed that, “the Hanbalite instructor’s religious duty was to select either Akhṣar al-Mukhtaṣarāt/The Supreme Synopsis or al-ʿUmdat/The Mainstay by Shaykh Manṣūr as the manual to teach novice pupils.”

This course is currently underway.
