Inscriptions relating to Mecca and Beit al-Haram. A work of Islamic jurisprudence by hanafi scholar Shahab al-Din (1302-67 AD), whose influence on the present treatise was heavily drawn from primary texts by Imam Nawawi and Imam Abu Ishaq As-Shirazi.

The informal copying and provincial binding of this manuscript are typical of manuscript production in the sub-Saharan regions of Africa. The Western imported paper is of a mixed stock and the reeds used to inscribe the text here are thick and unrefined. The scribe endorsed an informal cursive hand and the narrow margins and small-scale script indicate that the scribe was likely copying the text for personal use; adding annotations and inscriptions in the same hand throughout the volume throughout their years of ownership.

Single volume, decorated manuscript on western imported paper, from a mixed stock including the watermark of a crescent moon in a shield and the letters 'EIV', in Arabic, complete, 124 leaves, 255 by 180 mm; single column, 16 lines informal cursive script in black with headings and important words in red, catch-words throughout, numerous contemporary and later marginal inscriptions, some light staining (as often), some gatherings becoming loose; contemporary provincial binding of strips of leather over wooden boards with flap, worn with sections of leather missing.
