HOW IT WORKS
What the Maliki Fiqh Course Covers
The course begins with the life and method of Imam Malik and the sources of the Maliki school, including the practice of the people of Madinah. Students then study the Maliki rulings of Taharah, Salah including Sadl, Sawm, Zakah, and Hajj, followed by selected rulings of daily life.
The course is taught through classical Maliki primers such as Mukhtasar al-Akhdari and the Matn of Ibn ‘Ashir, with each ruling explained with its evidence.
- The Maliki Method: Imam Malik, al-Muwatta’, and how the practice of Madinah shapes the school’s rulings.
- Maliki Worship: Purification, prayer including Sadl and the prostrations of forgetfulness, fasting, Zakah on crops and livestock, and Hajj.
- Classical Primers: Rulings studied through al-Akhdari and Ibn ‘Ashir, the texts Maliki students have started with for centuries.
WHY KALAMULLAH
Why Students Choose Kalamullah's Maliki Fiqh Course
Many Maliki families have practiced the school for generations without studying its texts. Kalamullah's Maliki Fiqh course teaches the rulings in order, through the school's own primers, so practice is matched with understanding.

COURSE STRUCTURE
How the Maliki Fiqh Course Is Structured
The course follows the order of the classical Maliki primers, from the foundations of the school to the rulings of daily life.
1
1. Imam Malik and the Maliki Method:
Students study the life of Imam Malik in Madinah, his book al-Muwatta', the sources the school relies on, and the role of the practice of the people of Madinah.
This background prepares students to read Maliki rulings with understanding.
2
2. Maliki Fiqh of Taharah:
The teacher covers water, Wudu, Ghusl, Tayammum, and what breaks purification according to the Maliki school, following Mukhtasar al-Akhdari.
Students apply each ruling to practical cases before the unit closes.
3
3. Maliki Fiqh of Salah:
Students study the times, obligations, Sunnahs, and virtues of Salah in the Maliki school, including Sadl, prostrations of forgetfulness, travel prayers, and making up missed prayers.
The teacher reviews the student’s own prayer against the Maliki method, with a same-gender teacher where the student demonstrates it.
4
4. Maliki Fiqh of Sawm, Zakah, and Hajj:
The teacher covers the Maliki rulings of fasting, how Zakah is calculated on savings, gold, crops, and livestock, and the essential rulings of Hajj and Umrah, with verses from the Matn of Ibn 'Ashir.
Practical cases include Zakah calculations and common fasting questions.
5
5. Selected Rulings of Daily Life:
The final unit covers selected Maliki rulings on food, dress, and basic transactions, drawing on [al-Risalah of Ibn Abi Zayd al-Qayrawani / the teacher’s guided explanation], since the opening primers focus on worship.
At the close of this unit, students practice worship with a clear grasp of the Maliki school and its Madinan roots, ready to compare it with the other schools in Kalamullah’s Comparative Fiqh Course.

Common questions
Common Questions About the Maliki Fiqh Course
A quick answer to the questions that come up most often before someone books their first trial class — a mix of questions specific to this course and questions about the academy as a whole.
What Do I Need Before Joining the Maliki Fiqh Course?+
Students should know the basics of Islam and practice Salah. Those still learning the basics are advised to begin with Kalamullah's Islamic Studies Course for Beginners.
Which Texts Are Used in the Maliki Fiqh Course?+
The course follows classical Maliki primers such as Mukhtasar al-Akhdari and the Matn of Ibn ‘Ashir. [Students read the Arabic text with the teacher / Students study the text in translation], and every passage is explained in English.
Do I Have to Be Maliki to Join?+
No. Many students from other schools study Maliki Fiqh to understand the practice of Madinah and how it shaped Islamic law. The course suits Maliki Muslims and anyone who wants to understand the school.
Why Do Maliki Worshippers Pray With Their Hands at Their Sides?+
This practice, known as Sadl, is the well-known (Mashhur) position of the Maliki school in obligatory prayers, based on the practice of the people of Madinah. Some Maliki scholars also held the view of placing the hands, and the course explains the evidence for both in the Salah unit.
Are Female Teachers Available?+
Yes. Kalamullah provides qualified female Maliki Fiqh teachers for sisters. The preference is confirmed at registration and matched before the free class is booked.
