  2. Turath 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.

  6. Assalamu Alaykum,

    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.
