الموسوعة الفقهية

A fiqh encyclopedia arranged by topic, starting with the worship chapters (purity, prayer, funerals, zakat, fasting, pilgrimage). The digital copy's title page credits the Dorar.net compilation under Alawi al-Saqqaf in three volumes, which does not match the Kuwaiti encyclopedia by name or size.

Summary

The saved file is a digital copy of "al-Mawsuʿa al-Fiqhiyya" prepared by the Maktaba Shamila digital library. Its title page attributes it to the website Durar al-Sunniyya, under the supervision of ʿAlawi ibn ʿAbd al-Qadir al-Saqqaf, in three volumes. This does not match the well-known Kuwaiti "al-Mawsuʿa al-Fiqhiyya" either in name or in the number of volumes, so this copy is not attributed to it until the printed edition is identified 1.

The first index

The copy's index begins with the chapters on acts of worship: purification, prayer, funerals, zakat, fasting, and pilgrimage and ʿumra 1 2.

The first topic: purification

The first topic begins with purification. Within it are the questions of outward and inward purification, the kinds of water, the rules on impurities, cleansing after relieving oneself, ablution, wiping over leather socks, the full bath, dry ablution with earth (tayammum) and menstruation. See the entry on purification 2 3 4.

Note on the text

The copy is digital and machine-generated, and its text includes honorific formulas, none of which have been carried over here. The entries of the encyclopedia have not yet been read, and the title page gives no name for the author of the copy.
