al-Tajnis wa-l-Mazid

Al-Tajnis wa-l-Mazid ("and it is no stubborn book for those who give fatwa") is a fatwa book of the Hanafi school by al-Marghinani, devoted to questions on which the later Hanafi jurists gave their views and derived rulings that the early masters had not stated. ¹ The author says in its preface that the book is "to set out what the later jurists derived and the early ones did not state, except what was missed from them in transmission". ¹

Al-Hidaya's editor notes that al-Marghinani's work in it completes what his teacher al-Sadr al-Shahid Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz (d. 536 AH) began, collecting these questions from the later jurists' books before he died, as the preface of al-Tajnis says, and that al-Marghinani lists his sources in the preface. ¹

The editor notes elsewhere that Dr Muhammad Amin Makki edited a portion of it, from the beginning to the end of the Book of Pilgrimage, as a master's thesis printed in two volumes. ²
