How good is Sheikh Abd al-Rahman al-Jaziri's book "Al-Fiqh 'ala al-Madhahib al-Arba'ah" (Fiqh According to the Four Schools of Thought)?
The book "Al-Fiqh 'ala al-Madhahib al-Arba'ah" by Al-Jaziri is an effort that began with a group of scholars, after which Al-Jaziri took over its editing and refinement. It aimed to facilitate Islamic jurisprudence for mosque imams. However, it is criticized for not elaborating on the authoritative opinions, not documenting texts, and for its incompleteness and deficiencies, which made it unsuitable as a reference for determining the preponderant opinion within the four madhhabs. It is recommended to rely on accredited fiqh books or well-edited jurisprudential encyclopedias, such as "Al-Mawsu'ah al-Fiqhiyyah al-Kuwaitiyyah."
