NOT for independent self-study, this workbook is your companion for the upcoming Winter Seminar at the Germantown Masjid in Philadelphia, Dec.25-29, 2019, in shaa’ Allah.
The book, Masaa’il al-Jaahiliyyah, is a unique and powerfully insightful work warning against the worst traits of the days of ignorance, authored by one of the most knowledgeable and authoritative scholars of the past few centuries, Shaykh al-Islam Muhammad ibn ‘Abdil-Wahhaab at-Tameemee (may Allah have Mercy on him).
Shaykh Saalih ibn ‘Abdil-‘Azeez Aal ash-Shaykh (may Allah preserve him) said, “These are tremendous points which, no doubt, we are in need of in every time, and especially in this time. Reviewing them and reminding the people about them is a necessity.”

From its harms is that the addict is despised and hated, even by the closest of people to him.
From its harms are the squandering of wealth and the inability to make noble earnings. So he resorts to earning wealth by way of criminal means. I seek Allaah’s refuge for me and for you.

From its harms is the loss of dignity and inclining towards the wicked, from men or women.
From its harms is the shortening of life due to what it causes the destruction of the bodily organs and due to what it exposes the person to from grief and stress.

The text of this treatise is a translation of “The Book Of Fasting” from the book “al-Fiqh al-Muyassar.”
Shaykh Ṣāliḥ Āl al-Shaykh said about this book in his introduction:
“This book comprises of Fiqh rulings pertaining to the acts of worship and dealings, along with their evidences from the noble Book and the authentic Prophetic Sunnah.”
He also stated:
“Its wording is clear and its style is simple, so that the students of knowledge can benefit from it and other than them from the general Muslims.
The precision of its categorization and the ease in benefiting from its subject matter, and this is achieved through the headings, which indicate the content and aid to understand it.”
These are some of the reasons we decided to translate this book for the English reader, may Allāh allow us and you to benefit from it.
We have added some questions at the end of each chapter to enable the student to test their understanding.
