as Salamu alaikum,

For the past decade, Dar al-Minhaj Pub. in Jeddah has published an array of hi-quality Shafi'i fiqh works. Their publications of various mutun have been and are currently used by teachers and students in Tarim and other places. Dar al-Minhaj has edited and published works such as: al-Risalat al-Jami'ah, Nayl al-Raja, Bushra al-Karim, Abu Shuja'a, Kifayat al-Akhyar, al-Yaqut al-Nafis, Safwat al-Zubad, 'Umdat al-Salik and Minhaj al-Talibin. All of these mutun make up a traditional Shafi'i fiqh syllabus. Dar al-Minhaj has also published extraordinary encyclopedic-reference works such as: Nihayat al-Matlab, al-Bayan and al-Najm al-Wahhaj.

This year, Dar al-Minhaj printed a number of key reference works and study mutun. Below are some of these publications:

1. al-'Ubab al-Muhit bi-Mu'dham Nusus al-Shafi'i wa al-Ashab, by the judge, jurist and scholar of exacting verification Ahmad bin Muhammad al-Zabidi, famously known as al-Muzajjad(847-930)

al-Muzajjad described this work as, "a treasure drove that a faqih can carry in his sleeve, and a swelling wave condensing the major works..."

al-'Ubab is, in its very essence, a summary of Rawdhat al-Talibin by Imam al-Nawawi, and the author added additional furu' from the various works of the Ashab.

Ibn Hajar al-Haytami and Muhammad al-Ramli both wrote commentaries on al-'Ubab.

al-'Ubab was printed a number of times by Dar al-Kutub al-'Ilmiyyah but none of these prints were critical editions.
