I have read through most of the manual now and have come to the conclusion that this is an excellent primer to begin learning Shafi’i fiqh. It begins with Taharah and ends with Hajj & ‘Umrah. Make du’aa for Sayyidi Abdullah Al-Marbuqi for his efforts!

    Jazakallahu khair for your website and uploading the translation. My wish list is for the advanced talibul ‘ilm or scholars of the Shafi’i school to translate Nawawi’s Minhaj at Talibin with the Arabic and English facing each other (like Sh Nuh’s Reliance) with excerpts from ibn Hajar Haytami, Ramli, Shirbini, Mahallis’ commentaries with additional notes from contemporary Shafi’i scholars.
