Al-Fatāwā aṣ-Ṣughrā originally belongs to Ṣadr al-Shahīd Ḥusām al-Dīn (d. 536/1141), who was a member of the Burhan family, which ruled with the title of “ṣadr” in Bukhara and was the leading representatives of the Hanafi jurists. The works of Sadr al-Shahīd, who was a scholar who authored many works in fatāwā/wāqiāt literature and led this literature, have been the subject of many studies of classification in due order and completion.

One of these studies of classification in due order and completion is al-Fatāwā aṣ-Ṣughra by Najm al-Dīn Yūsuf b Aḥmad al-Ḥāṣī al-Khāwārizmī (d. 620/1223). In this work, al-Ḥāṣī not only organized the issues in Sadr al-Shahīd’s work, which is unknown whether it has been reached the present day, but also provided a comprehensive resource that brings together legal issues most needed to be solved in fatwas of his time, by eliminating its deficiencies.

This valuable work, critically edited by Dr. Abdulhalik Uygur, is published for the “first time” within the scope of the “Late Classical Period Project”, after a careful publication preparation process carried out by TDV Islamic Studies Center (ISAM).
