كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ

Kitab al-Waqf

In queue — building during Usul al-Ifta

Source Priority

Following Ibn 'Abidin's hierarchy in 'Uqud Rasm al-Mufti: matn → sharh → fatawa → late mufta-bihi line. Each mas'ala anchors to whichever layer answers it; competing layers get their own backlinks.

1 Matn

For Kitab al-Waqf, Wiqaya / Mukhtasar al-Wiqaya carries the bab better than Quduri's brief treatment. Quduri kept for cross-reference.

  1. الوِقَايَةُ / مُخْتَصَرُ الوِقَايَةِ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    al-Wiqaya (Burhan al-Shari'a al-Mahbubi) / Mukhtasar al-Wiqaya (Sadr al-Shari'a, d. 747H)
  2. كَنْزُ الدَّقَائِقِ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    Kanz al-Daqa'iq (al-Nasafi, d. 710H), Kitab al-Waqf
  3. مُخْتَصَرُ القُدُورِيِّ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    Mukhtasar al-Quduri, Kitab al-Waqf (compact; cross-reference)
  4. مُلْتَقَى الأَبْحُرِ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    Multaqa al-Abhur (Halabi, d. 956H), Kitab al-Waqf · later jami' matn

  1. البَحْرُ الرَّائِقُ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    al-Bahr al-Ra'iq (Ibn Nujaym), Kitab al-Waqf
    Sharh that doubles as tarjih work

4 Fatawa

Top-tier mutaqaddimun first, then other major fatawa works.

  1. خُلَاصَةُ الفَتَاوَى · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    Khulasat al-Fatawa (Tahir al-Bukhari, d. 542H)
    Top tier
  2. فَتَاوَى قَاضِيخَانَ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    Fatawa Qadikhan / al-Khaniyya (al-Uzjandi, d. 592H)
    Top tier
  3. الفَتَاوَى الظَّهِيرِيَّةُ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ

5 Late Mufta-bihi Line (apex)

The relied-upon transmission that 'Uqud Rasm al-Mufti points toward as the operational capstone. Shami doesn't float above the tradition; he sits as a hashiya on Durr, which is a sharh of Tanwir.

  1. تَنْوِيرُ الأَبْصَارِ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    Tanwir al-Absar (al-Timirtashi, d. 1004H) · the matn
  2. الدُّرُّ المُخْتَارُ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    al-Durr al-Mukhtar (al-Haskafi, d. 1088H) · the sharh
  3. رَدُّ المُحْتَارِ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    Radd al-Muhtar (Ibn 'Abidin / Shami) · the apex hashiya

Bab-Specific Foundational Authority

Indispensable for any waqf mas'ala. Outside the general matn-sharh-fatawa hierarchy, but not optional. Khassaf in particular is foundational for waqf-takhrij; the late fatawa works trace back to him.

  1. أَحْكَامُ الأَوْقَافِ — للخَصَّافِ
    Ahkam al-Awqaf (al-Khassaf, d. 261H) · earliest Hanafi monograph on waqf
  2. أَحْكَامُ الوَقْفِ — لِهِلَالِ الرَّأْيِ
    Ahkam al-Waqf (Hilal al-Ra'y, d. 245H)

Parallel Track · Ta'lil-Expansion

Consulted for tahrir (verifying which transmission is the asl), ta'lil, and tarjih when the matn-sharh-fatawa stack disagrees. Not the first stop for mufta-bihi, but central when an apparent mufta-bihi conflicts with the asl in zahir al-riwayah, or when a nawazil case turns on the legal cause.

  1. المَبْسُوطُ — لِلسَّرَخْسِيِّ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    al-Mabsut (al-Sarakhsi, d. 483H), Kitab al-Waqf
  2. بَدَائِعُ الصَّنَائِعِ — لِلْكَاسَانِيِّ · مَبَاحِثُ الوَقْفِ
    Bada'i' al-Sana'i' (al-Kasani, d. 587H), waqf material
  3. فَتْحُ القَدِيرِ — لِابْنِ الهُمَامِ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
    Fath al-Qadir (Ibn al-Humam, d. 861H) · heavily cited by Ibn 'Abidin himself

First-Tier Tarjih Node

Captured at the parent kitab level before any leaves go under it. Every bab and fasl below inherits this framing.

Imam vs. Sahibayn
قَالَ الإِمَامُ أَبُو حَنِيفَةَ: الوَقْفُ غَيْرُ لَازِمٍ إِلَّا فِي المَسْجِدِ. وَقَالَ الصَّاحِبَانِ: يَلْزَمُ مُطْلَقًا. وَالمُفْتَى بِهِ قَوْلُ الصَّاحِبَيْنِ.
Imam Abu Hanifa held waqf is non-binding except in the masjid. The Sahibayn (Abu Yusuf and Muhammad) held it binding without that restriction. The mufta-bihi position is the Sahibayn's. Wajh al-tarjih: ifta' need / fasad al-zaman / preservation of charitable endowments.

Major Bab Anchors

Top-level structure for the kitab. Each will spawn its own fusul and mas'ala notes as the bab is covered. (Order follows Hindiyya.)

Mas'ala leaves populate here as the bab is covered in my Usul al-Ifta course. Each leaf carries its full schema: taswir, asl al-riwayah, aqwal, dalil & ta'lil, wajh al-khilaf, mufta bihi, wajh al-tarjih, sabab al-ifta' (for nawazil), and qawa'id backlinks. Public leaves render here; private notes (sensitive nawazil context, draft positions) stay off-site.
