Al Khair Al Kathir – Sharh Al Fauz Al Kabir (Urdu) | Mufti Muhammad Amin Palanpuri | Deoband

About Al Khair Al Kathir

Al Khair Al Kathir (الخیر الکثیر) is a detailed Urdu sharh (commentary) of Al-Fauz al-Kabir fi Usool at-Tafsir, the famous book on the principles of Qur’anic interpretation by Shah Waliullah Muhaddith Dehlawi (rahimahullah). The commentary is by Hazrat Maulana Mufti Muhammad Amin Palanpuri, teacher of hadith and fiqh and compiler of fatawa at Darul Uloom Deoband. It is published in hardcover by Al-Ameen Kitabistan, Deoband.

Al-Fauz al-Kabir is part of the Dars-e-Nizami syllabus in madaris across the subcontinent. Its text is concise and dense, and students often need a clear explanation to understand it fully. Al Khair Al Kathir fills that need.

• The discussion of naskh (abrogation) and Shah Waliullah’s view on it
• Asbab an-nuzul and how they help in understanding the ayaat
