|For over a century, one of the greatest juristic monuments in Islamic history has remained largely inaccessible to the wider Muslim world, preserved primarily in Urdu. Today, Dar al-Imam Yusuf al-Nabhani and Supporting Sunni Scholars are breaking through this linguistic divide by translating the entire 30-volume compendium into Arabic—the lingua franca of classical Islamic scholarship.
While landmark legal references like al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya required a royal commission of over fifty scholars, Fatawa Ridawiyya represents the singular intellect of Ala Hadrat, Imam Ahmad Rida Khan. What survives today comprises an estimated fifteen years of output, yet it remains one of the most exhaustive reference works ever compiled in the Hanafi tradition:
The Scholar of Scholars: Over 1,000 inquiries originated not from laypersons, but from practising muftis, senior teachers, and jurists seeking his authoritative verdict.
Exhaustive Treatises: While select rulings are succinct answers, many are stand-alone monographs running hundreds of pages, rich with rare primary-source citations and novel legal deductions found in no other text.
Universal Scope: The work addresses foundational legal pillars alongside sophisticated questions of contemporary science, monetary exchange, inheritance matrices, and medicine.
Arabic is the shared language of Islamic scholarship. By rendering all 30 volumes into it, we open the doors of this treasure to the institutions, universities and jurists who could never reach it before, from Morocco to Indonesia.
By the grace of Allah, 7 of the 30 volumes are already nearing completion. The team is assembled, the method is proven, the momentum is real. This translation will, by the will of Allah, be finished and placed into the hands of scholars across the Arab world.
So the real question is not whether the work will be done. It is whether you will have secured your share of the reward before it is.
A work of this significance cannot be rushed, nor entrusted to just anyone. Every member of the team has been handpicked and extensively vetted, chosen for both their scholarly credentials and their command of the languages involved. Around the clock, a dedicated team of 20 is giving this work the care it demands:
2 senior academic supervisors
5 expert translators
5 skilled typists
3 meticulous proofreaders
5 critical editors
Translating a masterpiece of this size takes patient, meticulous work, and your donation funds the entire process.
