  • On Explaining the Wiqaya Book.

Summary

  • This book by Ubaydullah ibni Masood Taj ush-Shari'a (also known as Taj ush-Shari'a the younger, died 1346 [747 AH]) was written to explain an earlier work by the author's grandfather and mentor, Mahmoud ibni Sadr ash-Shari'a (the elder), the monumental Wiqayat ar-Riwaya min Masa'il al-Hidaya (The trusted narrative on issues of guidance), which is often shortened to al-Wiqaya (Book). Both works are about Islamic fiqh (jurisprudence) in the Hanafi school of thought. The work was transcribed by Hassan b. Mahmood in 1588 (996 AH). The manuscript is from the Bašagić Collection of Islamic Manuscripts in the University Library of Bratislava, Slovakia, which was inscribed on the UNESCO Memory of the World register in 1997.

The manuscript is item 59 in Jozef Blaškovič, Arabské, turecké a perzské rukopisy Univerzitnej knižnice v Bratislave (Arab, Turkish, and Persian manuscripts in the University Library, Bratislava).
