At Level Three, students will begin their foray into advanced fiqh by studying classical texts on Rasm al-Mufti, such as ‘Uqud Rasm al-Mufti, and learning nuanced details about the madhhab, how it functions, and how to accurately produce answers. They will deepen their knowledge of Legal Theory by delving into Nur al-Anwar. Next, students will be introduced to a commentary text, al-Lubab, which will supplement and expand upon an earlier study of Quduri. In order to study the practice of the early Muslim community, students will cover Imam Muhammad’s recension of the Muwatta. Then, they will cover their final work on the science of Beliefs, Aqhisari’s Azhar al-Rawdat, and finally, students will study inward fiqh, namely, the proper etiquettes of practising the shari‘a in one’s life from the beautiful work, Shir‘at al-Islam. The course will end with final assessments on each topic. Successful candidates may proceed to the next level.
