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.
الوِقَايَةُ / مُخْتَصَرُ الوِقَايَةِ · 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.
تَنْوِيرُ الأَبْصَارِ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
Tanwir al-Absar (al-Timirtashi, d. 1004H) · the matn
الدُّرُّ المُخْتَارُ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
al-Durr al-Mukhtar (al-Haskafi, d. 1088H) · the sharh
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.
أَحْكَامُ الأَوْقَافِ — للخَصَّافِ
Ahkam al-Awqaf (al-Khassaf, d. 261H) · earliest Hanafi monograph on waqf
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.
المَبْسُوطُ — لِلسَّرَخْسِيِّ · كِتَابُ الوَقْفِ
al-Mabsut (al-Sarakhsi, d. 483H), Kitab al-Waqf
بَدَائِعُ الصَّنَائِعِ — لِلْكَاسَانِيِّ · مَبَاحِثُ الوَقْفِ
Bada'i' al-Sana'i' (al-Kasani, d. 587H), waqf material
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.

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.
