[Contribution by Shaykh Husain Kadodia]
Some possibly beneficial resources for those teaching Usul ash-Shashi:
Middle Eastern Prints of the book:
1- Dar al-Gharb al-Islami, edited by Sh. Akram an-Nadwi- possibly the most authentic edition.
2- Dar al-Kutub al-Ilmiyyah, with Umdat al-Hawashi of al-Gangohi
3- Dar Ibn Kathir, with Ahsan al-Hawashi of al-Laknawi
4- Dar al-Faruq al-A’zam, with Ahsan al-Hawashi of al-Laknawi.
Printed Arabic Commentaries:
1- ash-Shafi ala Usul ash-Shashi of Wali ad-Din al-Farfur, Dar al-Farfur Damascus.
2- Ma’dan al-Wusul of Safi ibn Nusayr ar-Rumi, Maktabah Habibiyyah Peshawar.
3- Fusul al-Hawashi, common in both India and Pakistan.
4- Tashil Usul ash-Shashi of Ml. Anwar Badakhshani, Idarah al-Quran, Karachi.
English Translations:
1- Usul al-Fiqh by Ml. Muhammad Karolia (based on Usul ash-Shashi, though not a verbatim translation), al-Khair Publications
Others are requested to add to this list.

Posted by Maaz | May 12, 2009, 2:09 amTurath is working on a complete translation of Usul ash Shashi. When it will be released, I don’t know. Given Turath’s propensity to take forever in their translations, I estimate in the next five years.

I was wondering if Mufti Saheb, or anyone else could help me find Fusulul Hawashi? A PDF of it, if not a website to get the actual kitaab, insha Allah.
