Al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya al-Mu'asira fi Nawazil al-Mu'amalat al-Maliyya الفتاوى الهندية المعاصرة في نوازل المعاملات المالية

Al-Fatawa al-Hindiyyah al-Mu'asirah fi Nawazil al-Mu'amalat al-Maliyyah (Contemporary Indian/Subcontinent Fatwas on Modern Financial Transactions) is a significant contemporary study that bridges classical Hanafi jurisprudence, the rich legal heritage of the Indian Subcontinent, and modern Islamic finance. Originally submitted as a doctoral dissertation at the Open Islamic University in Egypt, it examines contemporary financial issues (nawazil) through the juristic methodology and legal verdicts (fatawa) of leading Hanafi scholars from South Asia.

The title deliberately echoes the celebrated Al-Fatawa al-Hindiyyah (Fatawa Alamgiriyyah), the monumental seventeenth-century Hanafi legal encyclopedia commissioned by the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb. While the classical work addressed the legal questions of its own time, this volume compiles, classifies, and examines contemporary Hanafi fatwas on modern financial developments, including Islamic banking, investment products, Islamic capital markets, cryptocurrencies, takaful, credit cards, corporate shares, and contemporary contractual arrangements.

The work is distinguished by endorsements from two of the foremost authorities in contemporary Hanafi jurisprudence and Islamic finance: Justice Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani and Mufti Khalid Saifullah Rahmani, reflecting its sound adherence to the principles of ijtihad, takhrij, and Hanafi legal methodology.

Drawing upon ten major Urdu fatwa collections, the author analyzes and classifies approximately 270 legal verdicts on modern financial transactions, making this vast body of South Asian Hanafi scholarship accessible to the Arabic-speaking world for the first time. The book demonstrates how classical Hanafi legal maxims and precedents continue to provide practical solutions to emerging financial realities while remaining faithful to the principles of the Shari'ah. It is an invaluable resource for scholars, researchers, students of Islamic finance, and anyone interested in contemporary Hanafi fiqh and financial jurisprudence.
