Bahar-e-Shariat is arguably the most famous and widely trusted contemporary encyclopedia of Hanafi Fiqh (Islamic Law) in the Urdu language. Authored by the great scholar Sadr al-Shariah Mufti Amjad Ali Azami (d. 1948 CE), this monumental set compiles vast Shari’ah rulings (Sharai Qawanin) into an accessible, organized format.
