Sharah Al Majla - شرح المجلة

Description

شرح المجلة is a renowned classical commentary on مجلة الأحكام العدلية (Majallat al-Ahkam al-Adliyyah) by Sليم رستم الباز اللبناني. The work explains the legal and juristic provisions of the Ottoman Majalla, a major codification of Hanafi jurisprudence dealing principally with transactions and civil-law matters.

The Majalla was compiled by Ottoman scholars under the leadership of Ahmed Cevdet Pasha and organized Islamic legal principles and rulings, particularly from the Hanafi school, into a systematic body of legal articles. It became an important reference in the Ottoman judicial and legal system.

In شرح المجلة, Salim Rustum al-Baz presents explanations of the articles of the Majalla, making the legal terminology and underlying juristic rulings more accessible to students and researchers. The work is especially valuable for the study of Hanafi jurisprudence, Islamic commercial law, contracts, property, guarantees, agency, partnerships, transactions and other areas of civil dealings. Scholarly references continue to cite this work in discussions of Islamic legal rules and individual articles of the Majalla.
