Mukhtasar Khalil (often simply “Mukhtasar al-Khalil”) is a classic Maliki fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) manual composed by the 14th-century Maliki scholar Khalil ibn Ishaq al-Jundi (d. 1365 CE). It is a concise, highly compressed compendium of Maliki legal rulings used widely across North and West Africa and other Maliki communities. Because of its terseness, Mukhtasar Khalil became a standard text for students and scholars; numerous commentaries and teaching aids were written to unpack its dense aphorisms.
