The jurisprudence redress of Maliki scholars on the “MOKHTASSAR” of Sheikh Khalil: fundamental and applied study

Abstract

It is well-known that Sheikh Khalil’s jurisprudential abstract (MOKHTASSAR KHALIL) - may God have mercy on him - is one of the most important Maliki books adopted in teaching and fatwa. Indeed, he stayed in editing it for twenty-five years - as in the books of Maliki biographies.

Despite this, some shortcomings and omissions occurred to him. This prompted some Maliki scholars to correct these misfortunes. This is the subject of this research in which we review: the reality of jurisprudence, its rule, its purpose and the most important corrections that scholars made to Sheikh Khalil in his “MOKHTASSAR”. One of the most important results reached, which I was included in the conclusion of this work, was that there is no chapter in the chapters of the MOKHTASSAR of Sheikh Khalil - may God have mercy on him - in which there are not lapses that scholars and commentators have corrected, either by his narration of a weak saying about the issue, or his neglect of important issues and controls, or his vagueness in the phrase, which causes the reader of the MOKHTASSAR to be confused.
