Designed in the tradition of classic primers (mutun), this manual is a comprehensive guide to the fiqh of fasting, featuring extensive footnotes, detailed explanations, and appendices on fulfilling the other key rights of the sacred month, namely, the tarawih prayers, sadaqat al-fitr, and the iʿtikaf retreat.

The text is written according to the Ḥanafī madhhab and in the style of a classic primer of Sacred Law, which means that it is generally pithy and may, at times, read as obscure to the unaccustomed. Although the lone reader may find the notes helpful, it is probable that he may need to resort to a reliable scholar to understand some of the rulings contained therein. However, it is hoped that a careful study of these contents shall equip the reader with the means to fulfil this noble act of worship in accordance with revelatory guidance until the day he leaves this paltry world.
