Mukhtasar

Islamic law

Mukhtaṣar (Arabic: المختصر), in Islamic law, refers to a concise handbook of legal treatises, characterized by neatness and clarity. Mukhtasars originated during the Abbasid caliphate and were created as a method to facilitate the quick training of lawyers without the repetitiveness of lengthy volumes, yet evolved into a mode of access into the fundamentals of Islamic law for the educated layperson.[1] Some well-known mukhtasars include the Mukhtasar of Khalil, by the Egyptian Maliki scholar Khalil ibn Ishaq al-Jundi (died 1365), and the Mukhtasar al-Quduri, by Hanafi scholar Imam al-Quduri (973-1037) of Baghdad.

The Mukhtasar of Ibn Abī Zamanīn was one of the five great commentary manuscripts in the personal library of Ludovico Maracci that helped inform 18th Century Europe about Islam.[2]
