A scholarly marginal commentary (hashiya) on the Nur al-Idah wa-Najat al-Arwah, the celebrated Hanafi fiqh text of Imam Abu al-Ikhlas Hasan ibn ʻAmmar al-Shurnbulali al-Misri al-Hanafi (994–1069 AH / 1586–1659 CE). Nur al-Idah is among the most widely studied Hanafi fiqh texts in the Islamic world, covering the fundamental chapters of worship including purification, prayer, fasting, and zakat with the characteristic precision of the Hanafi school.
