This Risalah is actually a part of Majmoo’ al-Fataawa of Ibn Taymiyyah (8/262 to 369, Tahqiq of ‘Abdur-Rahman bin Muhammad bin Qasim, King Fahad Printing Press for the Mushaf ash-Sharif, (1416H/1995CE), Madinah, Saudi Arabia ); The title page has incorrectly noted Shaykhul Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah’s lineage as: Imaam Taqiuddin, Abil ‘Abbaas Ahmad bin ‘Abdul Haleem al-Hanbali Ad-Dimashqi bin ‘Abdus-Salaam Al-Bukhaari who lived in Damascus, bin Tasm bin ‘Abdur-Rashid Al-Bukhari [..]. The ascription is correct until the first “Al-Bukhari”, which is not noted in any of the biographies of Shaykhul Islaam. |

Research Notes: I don’t believe the explanation of ‘Inaayatullah al Bukhari on Jurjaani’s ‘Awaamil is published, but the introduction has similar text as Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Zayn bin Mustafa Al-Fataani’s (~ 1300s Hijri, Mu’jam Al-Mu’alifeen, 2/104) Tas-heel Nayl Al-Amaani Fi Sharh ‘Awaamil al-Jurjaani (written in Rabi’ al Awwal in Makkah, 1300), it’s likely that Al-Fataani’s work was influenced by ‘Inaayatullah Al-Bukhaari’s. [More research required]
