The Reliance of the Traveller

The Reliance of the Traveller (Umdat al-Salik) is a comprehensive Shafi‘i fiqh manual by Imam Ahmad ibn Naqib al-Misri (d. 1368 CE). Written in Arabic, it systematically outlines Islamic jurisprudence, covering worship, marriage, trade, justice, and ethics according to the Shafi‘i madhhab. Tranlated into English by Nuh Ha Mim Keller, it is widely used by English-speaking Muslims for its clarity and detailed commentary, serving as a key resource for students and scholars.
