Wassalam Br. Yahya, Jazak Allah Khair for the suggestion. However, upon doing a google search, I found that the text is not in english nor is it readily available. I was thinking on the level of ''Fiqh Al Imam: Key Proofs in Hanafi Fiqh'', i.e. is there a Shafi'i counterpart available that is as readily accessible to Muslims in the west? Saif
