This Annotated Translation of Shaykh Muftī Muḥammad Shafīʿ’s Seminal Work

Muftī Taqī ʿUthmānī writes:
“Books on the topic of women’s veiling and unveiling have proliferated in our time. The best I have seen on the subject is a monograph by my late father, Shaykh Muftī Muḥammad Shafīʿ (Allah have mercy on him), called Tafṣīl al-Khiṭāb fī Āyāt al-Ḥijāb, which forms part of his Aḥkām al-Qurʾān. In it, he conducted a thorough examination of the verses and ḥadīths on the subject and elaborated on the views of the jurists and the commentaries of the exegetes about the boundaries and method of ḥijāb. (Takmīlah Fatḥ al-Mulhim, 4:153)”
