Maliki Usool Al-Fiqh

The Malikis have made some excellent contributions to the study of Usul al-Fiqh. The following works are considered essential in a curriculum for Malikis:

Sharh al-Waraqat by al-Hattab

al-Isharat fi Usul al-Fiqh by al-Baji

Maraqi al-Su’ud with the Sharh Nathr al-Wurud by Muhammad al-Amin al-Shanqiti

Taqrib al-Wusul by Ibn al-Juzay

Ihkam al-Fusul by al-Baji

Miftah al-Usul by al-Tilimsani (for takhrij al-furu ‘ala al-usul)

al-Furuq by al-Qarafi

al-Muwafaqat by al-Shatibi

A number of key works are missing, but this should give a good grasp of Maliki Usul. Mastery requires reading widely and critically engaging with the field.
