Product Overview
Al-i'tisam is one of the earliest -if not the first- book to be compiled about Bid'a. Imam al-Shatibi's strict analysis and complete adherence to the verification of all sciences makes him one of the unique individuals capable of determining what is Bid'a in the Islamic science. Although there is similar work written by Imam Ibn Abi Shama, -the teacher of Imam Nawawi- non the less this book by al-Shatibi stands out as the most referenced book in this regard. The Imam adheres to his Maliki school of Law, which is famous for being strict in what is Bid'a and what is Mashru' or legislative source.
