The text of 'Ghayat al-Taqrib' (also known as Matn Abi Shuja) is considered one of the most widely circulated and important texts in Shafi'i jurisprudence. It has been extensively explained by scholars, with numerous commentaries written on its explanations. One of the most significant of these is the book 'Al-Iqna'' by the scholar Al-Khatib Al-Shirbini, a later Shafi'i jurist. His explanation is detailed, defining and analyzing terms with precision, clarifying pronoun references in the original text, and citing the basis for legal issues from the Qur'an or Sunnah, often attributing them to their sources. The book is rich with notes, benefits, and jurisprudential branches that reflect Al-Shirbini's strong legal expertise and includes matters that can be considered contemporary. It comprehensively covers all chapters of jurisprudence, including acts of worship, transactions, criminal law, and inheritance.
