Fatawa Alamgiri: Kitab Ul Zakat ( Book Of Zakat)

Fatawa-e-Alamgiri (also known as Fatawa-i-Hindiyya) was the law of most of the Indian subcontinent, based on Islamic Sharia, set and abided during the reign of the Mughal emperor Muhammad Aurangzeb (who was also known as Alamgir), lasted until the beginning of the 18th century. The compilation is mainly based on Sunni Hanafi Islamic jurisprudence, and was the work of many prominent scholars from different parts of the world, including Saudi Arabia, principally from the Hanafi school. In order to compile Fatawa-e-Alamgiri, Aurangzeb gathered 500 experts in Islamic jurisprudence (Faqih), 300 from the South Asia, 100 from Iraqand 100 from the Hejaz (Saudi Arabia). Their work over years, resulted in an Islamic code of law for South Asia, in late Mughal Era. It consists of legal code on personal, family, slaves, war, property, inter-religious relations, transaction, taxation, economic and other law for a range of possible situations and their juristic rulings by the Hanafi jurists of the time.English compilation of Fatawa was taken up as a project by Dr Muhammad Hamid a renowned educationist with over 40 books to his credit. It took him over 20 years to get this Translation completed. Mr Zeenat ullah Khan did most of the translation.
