The Rules of Prayer (Ahkam As-Salah)

English translation of Ahkam Assalah book by Shekh Ali Raghib. The book was originally written by Shekh Taqiuddin Nabhani however due to the prevalent security situation at the time, he requested Shekh Ali Raghib to assist him in reviewing the book and subsequently publish it under his name.

Shekh Nabhanis style of writing is vividly present in the book, his style of quoting the Evidences, the hadith and ayat and extracting the rules from them, just has been the hallmark in all his other books.
