Fiqh of Ṣalāh — A Complete Shāfiʿī Course is a comprehensive, lesson-by-lesson study of Islamic prayer according to the Shāfiʿī madhhab, drawn directly from classical sources including Khulāṣat al-Fiqh al-Islāmī by Shaykh ʿAbdur-Raḥmān Bāwā al-Malībārī.

Across 39 lessons organized into 8 modules, learners will build a complete and confident understanding of Ṣalāh — its definitions, the rulings that govern it, purification (wuḍūʾ and ghusl), the conditions of time and place, the pillars and sunan of the prayer itself, voluntary prayers, congregational and Friday prayer, and the rites of the final prayer (Janāzah).

Each lesson combines:

Core explanations rooted in authentic Arabic source texts

Memorization matn (short and extended) with full translations

Practical, real-life application exercises

Assessment quizzes to reinforce learning

Diagrams for key sequences and spectrums

The course is fully available in English, Arabic, Malayalam, and Kannada, making it accessible to a wide range of learners while preserving the precision of the original Arabic scholarship.

By the end of this course, students will not only know how to pray correctly, but why — grounded in sound fiqh reasoning from a trusted classical source
