أصول الشاشي
Uṣūl al-Shāshī
The Ḥanafī school’s own first book of legal theory, and the one the South Asian curriculum has begun with for three centuries. Where al-Waraqāt states the Shāfiʿī method, this states the Ḥanafī one.

In English — ours
Not yet. We translate rather than reprint, so the English for this book begins the day its first lesson is taught.
We link rather than mirror. The classical texts are out of copyright, but the modern printed editions of them are not, so we point you at a library that already carries one instead of putting somebody else’s edition on our server. What we do host is our own work.
Lessons
Not written yet. This book is on the map so you can see where it sits in the course, not because it is ready to study here.
