This paper investigates the Indonesian translation ( Terjemah ) of Shahih Fiqih Sunnah —a well-known work by Abu Malik Kamal bin Sayyid Salim based on authentic hadith. The study examines how the translated text facilitates access to classical Sunni jurisprudence (fiqh) for non-Arabic speaking Muslims in Indonesia. Using qualitative content analysis, the paper evaluates the accuracy of key legal terms, the translator’s methodology, and the book’s adoption in Islamic boarding schools ( pesantren ) and online platforms. Preliminary findings suggest that while the translation broadens accessibility, challenges remain in conveying nuanced legal rulings ( ahkam ) without distorting original intent. The paper concludes with recommendations for standardizing fiqh translation criteria.
