I'm looking for a reference from which the definition of Amal-e-Kathir (Amal-e-Kaseer) for salaat has been derived/debated in Fiqah. As far as online searches go, I have come across a site which mentions Raddul Muhtar p.385 v.2 & Taqrir Abu Dawud p.331 v.2 but I cannot find any place online where I can read the actual contents of the referenced texts.

I am looking for the mentioned texts online or preferably some direct reference to Qur'an/Hadith/Fiqah from where amal-e-kathir is defined. I will highly appreciate if the provided references could be consulted online or in other soft forms.

  • Thank you. I'm afraid I cannot read Arabic but I will try to find someone local who can. – xeno Nov 24 '14 at 14:59
  • If you want "some direct reference to Qur'an/Hadith/Fiqah" you have very little choice in english... Even some translation are sometimes wrong. The best explanation in english is : The Fuqahaa have defined Amal-e-Kathir as conducting oneself in such a way that an onlooker would think the person is not in Salaat. That is generally the case when both hands are used to do something in Salaat. link – Yassine Nov 25 '14 at 4:30
  • Yes, I'm afraid you are right. I was just hoping that the well known books may be translated in other languages just like Hadith. I am already aware of the definition of Amal-e-Kathir; I wanted to read references from which this definition was originally derived. P.S. I didn't down-vote your answer. – xeno Nov 25 '14 at 6:46
