Question:

Pls,could you give me a list of all the authentic figh books in the maliki madhab
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad sallallaahu `alayhi wa sallam ( may Allaah exalt his mention ) is His Slave and Messenger.

Our dear questioner should note that the Maaliki school of Jurisprudence has experienced several stages of development. It had different schools such as that of Madeenah school which is considered the mother of the other Maaliki schools, and the Egyptian school which is one of the most important Maaliki schools due to the great status of its leader, Ibn Al-Qaasim may Allaah have mercy upon him to the founder of the Maaliki school Imaam Maalik ibn Anas may Allaah have mercy upon him. Also, there is the Iraaqi school and the Moroccan school. Further, there is the Andalusian school which some merge with the Moroccan school and make them one school.

Every stage which the Maaliki school has experienced has its own books. There is a beneficial research in Arabic about the Fiqh books authorized by the leading Maaliki scholars in the forum of Ahl al-Hadeeth.

This will enable you to get full knowledge of the stages of the Maaliki school of jurisprudence and the most important authorized books in each stage. Actually, we cannot mention and examine all of them because of our preoccupation with the large number of Fataawa in our website.

Allaah Knows best.
