Abstract

Praise be to Allah, the Lord of all worlds, and peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his companions. After this, in view of the esteemed scholarly position of the Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani and the significance of his book "Fath al-Bari," this research titled "Fiqh Selections of Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani in his book 'Fath al-Bari' through the Book of Fasting: 'Issues Related to What Does Not Invalidate the Fast' as a Model" has been undertaken. Its aim is to elucidate the fiqh selections of Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani concerning the issues of "what does not invalidate the fast" and study them in comparison with different juristic schools, using the book of fasting from his work "Fath al-Bari." This research consists of an introduction, two sections, and a conclusion. The conclusion presents the most important recommendations and findings derived from the study.

The first section, titled "The Qibla and Facing the Qibla for the Fasting Individual," includes a detailed examination and analysis of the issue. It then proceeds to present the selection of Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani and compare it with the opinions of other juristic schools. As for the second section, titled "Eating and Drinking Forgetfully during Ramadan," it also provides a detailed examination and analysis of the issue. It then reaches the selection of Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani and compares it with the opinions of other juristic schools.
