Al-Mughni, composed by the Hanbali jurist Ibn Qudama al-Maqdisi and completed in the early thirteenth century, is one of the major primary compendia of Hanbali Islamic law, notable for also recording the positions of the other Sunni legal schools on the questions it treats rather than arguing for Hanbali positions alone. As a primary legal-religious text, it is authoritative for what classical Hanbali jurisprudence held and for the range of school opinion it records, which is the fact this atlas draws on it for. It reflects thirteenth century juristic reasoning rather than any modern legal or scholarly restatement, and a claim about how these rulings are applied today needs a separate modern source.
