Bulughul Maram min Adillatil Ahkam (Attainment of the Objective according to Evidences of the Ordinances) is a highly revered classical collection of ahadith (prophetic traditions). Compiled by the renowned 15th-century Egyptian scholar Al-Hafiz Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani (d. 852 AH), it focuses on legal rulings ( ahkam ). Unlike general hadith collections, Bulughul Maram organizes narrations by chapters of fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence)—from purification and prayer to marriage, trade, and jihad. It contains approximately 1,500 hadith, each carefully selected because they form the primary evidence for specific rulings.
