Abstract:

The very first period Muslim scientists involved in an intense scientific activity from hadith to fiqh. Therefore; fiqh knowledge, organizing people’s daily-functional life is the primary science which has an intense text compilation. So, these written works can be both hardcover texts and summarized texts. The knowledge of fiqh, due to its origin and nature, is mostly based on written texts. Its main source, the Quran, which includes belief, morality, worship and legal principles, was passed down from generation to generation through literacy and memorization through the written text. One of the most basic names for summarized texts in fiqh knowledge are booklettype works. In the fiqh area, the tradition of the booklet type compilation developed with other type works and in parallel with them. The tradition of booklet writing, starting with Imam Shafi is not just confined with him, and is in continuation with other sects’ scholars. Therefore, the booklets became one of the important sources of fiqh. In this article, the booklets of Ibn Nujaym will be examined in terms of both its content and its form; thus, the period’s fiqh compilation will be clearer.
