Textbooks for teaching beginners

Question: Which textbooks are appropriate for teaching absolute beginners in purity and prayer?

Answer:

Wa alaykum assalam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,

Dear questioner,

Thank you for your important question.

Good textbooks for teaching absolute beginners in purity and prayer include al Maqasid (tr. Shaykh Nuh Keller) in Shafi’i Fiqh, Ascent to Felicity (tr. Shaykh Faraz Khan) in Hanafi fiqh, al Murshid al Muin (Diwan press) in Maliki fiqh, and Hanbali Acts of Worship by (tr. Shaykh Musa Furber) in Hanbali fiqh.

Before teaching any of these books to others, you should first study it yourself with a qualified teacher and be given permission to teach.

I pray this helps.

Farid
