This article examines the scholarly legacy of Burhaniddin Marghinani
(1123–1197), a central figure in the development of Hanafi Islamic jurisprudence and
one of the most distinguished representatives of the twelfth-century scientific renaissance
in Transoxiana. The study analyzes the principal works of Marghinani including
“Bidayat al-Mubtadi,” “Kifayat al-Muntahi,” “Hidaya,” “Mukhtarat an-Nawazil,”
and “At-Tajnis wal-Mazid” examining their structural composition, the history of their
composition, their manuscript and printed tradition, and their place in the development
of fiqh science. Special attention is given to the question of the volume of “Kifayat al-
Muntahi,” the role of “Hidaya” in world legal civilization, and the ongoing significance
of Marghinani’s heritage for contemporary Islamic scholarship and the academic
tradition of Uzbekistan.
