Mukhtasar

Islamic law

Islamic law

Mukhtaṣar (), in Islamic law, refers to a concise handbook or legal treatise, characterized by concision relative to other legal genres. Mukhtasars originated during the Abbasid caliphate and were created as a method to facilitate the quick training of lawyers without the repetitiveness of lengthy volumes, yet evolved into a mode of access into the fundamentals of Islamic law for the educated layperson. Some well-known mukhtasars include the Mukhtasar of Khalil, by the Egyptian Maliki scholar Khalil ibn Ishaq al-Jundi (died 1365), and the Mukhtasar al-Quduri, by Hanafi scholar Imam al-Quduri (973–1037) of Baghdad.
