Bidāyat al-Mujtahid wa Nihāyat al-Muqtasid

This work of Ibn Rushd rahimahullah outlines the differences of opinion among the 'ulema, including the four madhahib, on matters of fiqh (salah, wudu', etc). Ibn Rushd not only mentions the difference, but also as to why they differ and where those differences stem from i.e. interpretation, usul, textual preference, linguistic meaning, etc.
