About The Book

al-Najm al-Wahhaj is Imam Kamal al-Din al-Damiri's substantial ten-volume commentary on al-Nawawi's Minhaj al-Talibin — the foundational matn of late Shafii fiqh. The Minhaj itself is an abridgement of al-Rafii's al-Muharrar; al-Damiri's commentary unfolds it across ten volumes with attention to the technical vocabulary, the underlying principles, and the comparative positions of the Shafii authorities. Less famous than the Tuhfa of Ibn Hajar al-Haytami or the Nihaya of al-Ramli, the Najm al-Wahhaj is nonetheless a major reference in the Shafii commentary tradition.

About The Author

Imam Kamal al-Din al-Damiri (742-808 AH / 1341-1405 CE) was an Egyptian Shafii scholar of the late Mamluk period — author of the celebrated al-Najm al-Wahhaj (commentary on the Minhaj) and the famous Hayat al-Hayawan, the Islamic world's most comprehensive medieval zoological encyclopedia.

عن الكتاب

"النجم الوهاج في شرح المنهاج" شرحُ الإمام كمال الدين الدميري الكبير في عشرة مجلّدات على "منهاج الطالبين" للنووي — متنُ الفقه الشافعي الأَسَاسي. منهاجُ النووي اختصارٌ لـ"المحرّر" للرّافعي؛ يَفُكُّه الدميري في عشرة مجلّدات بانتباهٍ إلى المصطلحات الفنّيّة والأصول الفقهية وأقوال الشافعية. أَقَلُّ شُهرةً من تحفة ابن حجر الهيتمي ونهاية الرملي، لكنّه مرجعٌ كبير في تَقْليد الشرح الشافعي.

About the Contributor(s)

About the author

Kamal al-Din al-Damiri: Imam Kamal al-Din Abu al-Baqa Muhammad b. Musa al-Damiri rahimahullah (742-808 AH / 1341-1405 CE) was a distinguished Egyptian Shafii jurist and polymath of the late Mamluk era. His principal legal work is al-Najm al-Wahhaj fi Sharh al-Minhaj, a ten-volume commentary on al-Nawawi's Minhaj al-Talibin - the central matn of the Shafii madhhab. Minhaj al-Talibin is itself an abridgment of al-Rafi'i's al-Muharrar, and al-Damiri's commentary unfolds it with close attention to technical legal vocabulary, juristic principles, and the positions of the Shafii school. Although less widely cited than the later commentaries of Ibn Hajar al-Haytami (Tuhfat al-Muhtaj) and al-Ramli (Nihayat al-Muhtaj), al-Najm al-Wahhaj is a major reference within the Shafii commentarial tradition. Al-Damiri is equally celebrated for Hayat al-Hayawan al-Kubra, the Islamic world's most comprehensive medieval encyclopedia of animal life. He also composed Manzumat Rumuz al-Kunuz, a four-volume poetic mnemonic covering Shafii fiqh principles.
