1 min readAlso available in العربية

The book "Al-Muheet Al-Burhani fi Al-Fiqh An-Nu'mani" by Burhanuddin Al-Hanafi is an important book that compiles issues and branches of the Hanafi school. Its author relied on previous books and benefited from his teachers.

The book is considered useful and reputable among the Hanafis, and their scholars refer to it. However, it is not permissible to rely on it for issuing fatwas, as it collects "the wet and the dry" (i.e., strong and weak opinions without clear distinction).
