Matter of Manners

"Usool ul Fiqh - the Code of the Scholars" In sha Allah, Shaykh Yasser Birjas will teach this Al Maghrib Institute class here in Houston over the last two weekends of January. I am already looking forward to the comaraderie, in sha Allah. You can enroll in the class yourself by visiting the Al Maghrib Institute web site at www.almaghrib.com, or use the link in the righthand margin. Here's an excerpt from the course description: "Who has authority to give a fatwa? How can one Shaykh say something to be Haram while the other deems it permissible? In this double-weekend-seminar, students will learn about Islamic rulings and their method of deduction. They will learn such things as how legislation comes to be, how texts from the Qur'an and Sunnah are analyzed, and how apparently confusing verses are understood." Here is a recorded lecture by another Al Maghrib institute instructor, Muhammad Faqih. There was no description other than the title, "A Matter of Manners."
