The message to Al-Shafi'i 3/1

About the message of Al-Shafi'i 3/1: The "Message" by Imam Muhammad ibn Idris Al-Shafi'i is a cornerstone in the science of Islamic jurisprudence, and it is considered the first independent author in this field. The book aims to establish a clear methodology for deriving Islamic rulings from their primary sources, the Quran and the Sunnah. Abdul Rahman ibn Mahdi said about it when he looked into it: "I have not looked into the book of the Message for Al-Shafi'i except I found in it a new benefit." The "Message" was authored twice by Al-Shafi'i. The first is known as the "Old Message," which he wrote in Mecca when he was young, in response to Abdul Rahman ibn Mahdi's request. The currently known version is the "New Message," which he wrote in Egypt. The book was narrated by Al-Rabee' from Al-Shafi'i. The scholar Ahmed Muhammad Shakir has verified and explained the book. The "Message" is considered one of the most famous and important books of Al-Shafi'i, having a significant impact on Islamic jurisprudence and its principles. The book provides legal foundations that were missing before Al-Shafi'i, as he derived methods for dealing with the evidences of Sharia, making it an important reference for all students and enthusiasts of the principles of jurisprudence.
