Ottoman 1906 Book Mehmed Zihni Efendi – Nimet-i İslam Hanafi Fiqh Hajj Religion

Mehmed Zihni Efendi – Nimet-i İslam: Kitabü'l-Hac, Kitabu's-Savm & Münakehat – Ottoman Turkish Bound Volume – Ottoman Turkish

Description:

This Ottoman Turkish bound volume contains three separate works from Mehmed Zihni Efendi’s Nimet-i İslam series, one of the most important and comprehensive classical works of Hanafi fiqh and religious instruction from the late Ottoman period. Mehmed Zihni Efendi (1846–1913) was a prominent Ottoman scholar and teacher who wrote extensively on Islamic jurisprudence, Arabic language, and related religious subjects. His works became respected reference texts for their detailed treatment of religious and legal questions within the Hanafi tradition.

The first work in the volume is Kitabü'l-Hac, published in Hicri 1329 (1911), and devoted to the rules and practices of the Hajj pilgrimage. The second is Kitabu's-Savm, published in Hicri 1328 (1910), dealing with fasting and the religious regulations associated with it. The third work is Münakehat, published in Hicri 1324 (1906), and concerns marriage and divorce within Islamic law.

Together, these three works provide a detailed view of important areas of Hanafi religious practice and family law in the late Ottoman period. Their inclusion in a single bound volume makes the book particularly interesting from a bibliographic and historical perspective, preserving three separately published sections of the Nimet-i İslam series in one physical volume.

For collectors of Ottoman Turkish religious literature, Islamic jurisprudence, and late Ottoman printed books, this volume is an appealing example of the scholarly publishing tradition of the period. The combination of three distinct Mehmed Zihni Efendi works, spanning publications from 1906 to 1911, gives the volume additional historical and collecting interest.
