Radd al-Muhtar

{{Refimprove|date=October 2009}}

Radd al-Muhtār 'ala al-Durr al-Mukhtār ({{langx|ar|رد المحتار على الدر المختار}}) is a book on Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) by 18th century Islamic scholar, Ibn 'Abidin, whose title translates to "Guiding the Baffled to The Exquisite Pearl".

Radd al-Muhtar is a "hashiyah" (an annotative commentary) on `Ala' al-Din al-Haskafi's work of Islamic jurisprudence, Durr al-Mukhtār fi Sharh Tanwīr al-Absār. It is widely considered as the central reference for fatwa in the Hanafi school of Sunni legal interpretation. Scholars of the Indian subcontinent often refer to Ibn Abidin as "al-Shami" and to this hashiyah as "al-Shamiyya" or "Fatawa Shami".{{cite web |url=http://qa.sunnipath.com/issue_view.asp?HD=1&ID=1280&CATE=4 |title=What Does a Latecomer Do?
