  "account": "Doha, Qatar - The Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs has released a 14-volume encyclopedia of Hanbali jurisprudence, Matalib Uli Al-Nuha fi Sharh Ghayat Al-Muntaha. Authored by esteemed scholar Mustafa bin Saad bin Abduh Al-Ruhaibani Al-Dimashqi, the collection compiles authoritative rulings on worship and transactions, upholding the traditions of the Hanbali school.\n\nFunded by the Waqf Fund for Scientific and Cultural Development, the publication aims to make key Islamic scholarship accessible to scholars, researchers, students, and the general public in Qatar and beyond. The fund's printing of the work honors the wishes of donors who designated their endowment funds for similar purposes.\n\nThis initiative underscores the historical significance of waqf in supporting scientific, cultural, and religious endeavors, particularly through the preservation and dissemination of scholarly works. The Islamic Affairs Department overseeing the project prioritizes publishing authoritative texts across various Islamic disciplines, ensuring high-quality production standards.\n\nMatalib Uli Al-Nuha serves as an extensive commentary on Ghayat Al-Muntaha fi Al-Jam Bayn Al-Iqna wa Al-Muntaha by Mar'i Al-Karmi. The latter work synthesizes material from two major Hanbali references. Al-Ruhaibani's commentary builds upon the original text, firmly establishing the Hanbali school's authoritative position and providing evidence from the Quran, Sunnah, and statements of Imam Ahmad and leading Hanbali scholars. The book covers a wide array of jurisprudential topics, from purification to ritual bathing, menstruation, and postpartum bleeding, making it an indispensable reference for Islamic jurisprudence.",
