غاية المنى (Ghayat al-Muna)

This work is a comprehensive commentary on Safinat al-Najah, the well-known Shafii primer authored by Shaykh Salim ibn Abd Allah ibn Sad ibn Sumayt al-Hadrami. It focuses on the ibadat, presenting a complete treatment of this domain through the inclusion of additional chapters on fasting by Muhammad Nawawi al-Jawi and on hajj by the commentator himself. It is written in a clear and accessible style, and it simplifies complex discussions while preserving depth. It also brings together key principles, evidences, and their underlying reasoning, and carefully highlights the differences between major Shafii authorities such as Ibn Hajar and al-Ramli. The commentary also extends beyond the base text, addressing related issues, contemporary questions, and finer scholarly insights to ensure a thorough and well-rounded presentation.
