How can a Muslim begin to learn the obligatory matters in Islamic Sharia, such as creed, duties, and major sins?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There are specific fatwas one can refer to to learn about creed and some rulings a Muslim needs, in addition to books about major sins, commands, and prohibitions, and the knowledge that is obligatory to learn. One can begin learning with a set of books, namely: "Usul al-Iman" (Foundations of Faith), "Al-Fiqh Al-Muyassar" (Simplified Fiqh), "Muharramat Istahana Biha An-Nas" (Prohibitions People Take Lightly), "Minhaj Al-Muslim" (The Muslim's Way of Life), and "Riyadh As-Salihin" (Gardens of the Righteous).
