About this book

Fatawa 'Alamgiri  (also known as  Al-Fatawa al-'Alamgiriyya  ( Arabic :  الفتاوى العالمكيرية ‎) or  Al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya ) ( Arabic :  الفتاوى الهندية ‎) is a  sharia  based compilation on statecraft, general ethics, military strategy, economic policy, justice and punishment, that served as the law and principal regulating body of the  Mughal Empire  (which comprised almost all of the  Indian subcontinent ), during the reign of the  Mughal  emperor  Muhammad Muhiuddin Aurangzeb Alamgir .  The compilation has been widely regarded to be one of the most well organised works in the field of  Islamic jurisprudence  (Fiqh). The collection comprises verses from the  Quran , supplemented by  Hadiths  narratives, including those of  Sahih al-Bukhari ,  Sahih Muslim ,  Sunan Abu Dawood  and  Jami` at-Tirmidhi .
Fatawa-e-Alamgiri was the work of many prominent scholars from different parts of the world, including  Saudi Arabia , principally from the  Hanafi  school. In order to compile Fatawa-e-Alamgiri, emperor Aurangzeb gathered 500 experts in Islamic jurisprudence ( Fiqh ), 300 from  South Asia , 100 from  Iraq  and 100 from the  Hejaz  (Saudi Arabia). Their work over years, resulted in an Islamic code of law for South Asia, in late  Mughal Era . It consists of legal code on personal, family, slaves, war, property, inter-religious relations, transaction, taxation, economic and other law for a range of possible situations and their juristic rulings by the  Faqīh  of the time.
