Contemporary Fatawa-Mf Taqi-Updated

This is the completely revised, new edition of Mf Muhammad Taqi Usmani’s famous Contemporary Fatawa, with answers to over 700 questions.

Here is an explanation of the work done in this edition, directly from the author, Mufti Muhammad Taqi Usmani sahib:

“…I have been answering such questions posed to me by different people in English.

Firstly, these questions and answers were published in “Albalagh International" a monthly journal issued under my editorship from Darul-Uloom Karachi. A selected portion of these questions and answers was compiled by my learned brother Mr. Muhammad Shuaib Umar of South Africa with an introduction and some explanatory notes under the title: "Contemporary Fatawa”. This book was published by him at the end of the last century.

After its publication, I had opportunities to answer more questions either in "Albalagh" itself, or in my personal correspondence. Quite a large number of such answers was accumulated in addition to what was published in the first edition of "Contemporary Fatawa". Moulana Shakir Jakhura, who has the been assisting me in many academic works, collected all these answers in a file. One of my learned brothers requested Moulana Shakir Jakhura to send this file to him, He himself had a collection of my answers in response to his own questions. Then, he compiled all the answers given in the first edition of “Contemporary Fatawa" and the new ones contained in the file sent to him by Moulana Shakir Jakhura, or preserved by him in his own file. Thus, he prepared this new edition of "Contemporary Fatawa" under an order he thought more appropriate for a common reader,

After his compilation, Moulana Shakir Jakhura went through the entire draft, and pointed out to me a number of fatawa that needed revision from me in the light of new circumstances. Thus, I had an opportunity to revise them with the valuable assistance given by himself and Moulana Abdulwahhab and Moulana Mu`az Ashraf, and I brought many changes therein.

Now, this is the new and revised edition of "Contemporary Fatawa" that is more comprehensive containing the latest views on the relative subjects.”
