Description
About The Book
al-Sharh al-Saghir is Imam Ahmad al-Dardir's shorter auto-commentary on his own concise Maliki matn, Aqrab al-Masalik ila Madhhab al-Imam Malik. Together with the longer al-Sharh al-Kabir and Sawi's hashiya, it forms the canonical late-Maliki study sequence — the equivalent in the Maliki school of Minhaj al-Talibin and its commentaries for the Shafiis. The work covers the full sweep of Maliki fiqh across four volumes: ibadat, the various transactions (buyu, ijara, rahn, sharika, hawala, etc.), the detailed law of marriage and divorce, inheritance and bequests, jinayat and qisas, the laws of warfare and jihad, the rules of judicature (qada), and the boundaries of the lawful and forbidden.
al-Dardir was at once the leading Maliki authority of late-eighteenth century Egypt and a Khalwati Sufi shaykh; his commentary is unusual in carrying that twin authority — anchoring rulings firmly in the school's established positions while remaining attentive to the spiritual register of the law. The work has been a standard study text at al-Azhar and across the Maghribi and West African Maliki systems for more than two centuries.
About The Author
Imam Abu al-Barakat Ahmad b. Muhammad al-Adawi al-Dardir (1127-1201 AH / 1715-1786 CE) was born in Bani Adi in Upper Egypt and educated at al-Azhar, where he rose to become its chief Maliki mufti and a leading Khalwati Sufi master. He combined mastery of fiqh, kalam, and tasawwuf in a generation of Egyptian scholarship that shaped much of what came after. His works include al-Sharh al-Kabir, al-Sharh al-Saghir, Aqrab al-Masalik, the Salawat al-Dardiriyya, and his Khulasat al-Aqaid.

About the author
Ahmad al-Dardir: Imam Abu al-Barakat Ahmad ibn Muhammad al-Adawi al-Dardir rahimahullah (1127-1201 AH / 1715-1786 CE) was the leading Maliki jurist and scholar in Egypt during the late eighteenth century. He received his education at al-Azhar, the ancient seat of Islamic learning in Cairo, where he ultimately rose to hold the position of chief Maliki mufti. His fiqh writings became foundational texts for Maliki scholars across the Islamic world; 'Aqrab al-Masalik' and its commentary 'al-Sharh al-Saghir' remain among the most studied works in the Maliki legal tradition. Beyond jurisprudence, al-Dardir was a master of the Khalwatiyya Sufi order, and his spiritual teachings and character made him beloved among both scholars and common people in Egypt. His collection of Salawat (blessings upon the Prophet ﷺ), known as 'al-Salawat al-Dardiriyya', continues to be recited in Khalwati and Azhari devotional circles as a living part of Egyptian religious heritage.
