Assalamu Alaikum,

Could someone recommend an English book that relates the proofs in the Shafi'i School (specially regarding Salah)? I do have The Reliance of the Traveller which, despite being an awesome book, doesn't contain the proofs.

Jazak Allah Khair

Saif

As Salamu Alaykum

I'm assuming at your level of study, you should be learning from the mukhtasars (abridged works that teach the positions of the school without evidence). Once you reach an advanced level of study you will be learning the proofs, methodology, and how to defend the positions of the school.

All the proof text works of the madhhab are in arabic like Al Majmu' Sharh al Muhadhdhab, Al Hawi al Kabir of Imam Mawardi, and others. These works are 20 plus volumes long.
