Fiqh al-Zakah

Fiqh al-Zakah is a modern jurist's own comprehensive treatment of zakat, Islamic almsgiving, and this record holds it plainly at the tier appropriate to one scholar's own partisan legal position rather than to neutral outside description: Yusuf al-Qaradawi wrote from within a specific tradition of Sunni jurisprudence, and this record states his positions here as his own stated fiqh rather than as a settled, universally accepted ruling. Use it to document what this specific modern jurist argues about the rules and scope of zakat; it is not evidence that his specific rulings represent the position of every school of Islamic law, since it is one jurist's own comprehensive statement of his own legal reasoning.
