Kitaab to study Hanafi fiqh
Question
1. Which book is better for studying the Hanafi madhab; Mukhtasr al Quduri vs bahshti zewar?
2. Also, please state the reasons on the basis you preferred either of the two.
Answer
Both are extremely beneficial kitaabs and both have their own merits.
However, an Aalim of deen will be able to benefit more from Qudoori as he knows the language and the related sciences of deen, compared to a non-Aalim who is not conversant with the various sciences of deen but only knows the Arabic language.
As far as Behishti Zewar is concerned, it is written at a basic level where both an Aalim and a non-Aalim will be able to understand it and take benefit from it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
