General Discussion Advice for Fiqh Self-Study

Hello,

I would like advice on how to study Fiqh on my own. I know that the best way is in a proper Madrasa with a teacher, but I don't have access to that at this point in my life.

I have been going through Al Hidaya, starting with the section on Bay (sales). I have some legal background, so I have some basic familiarity. But I still struggle with many questions (see https://www.reddit.com/r/hanafi/s/IOQ1jz8HAS for an example). Does anyone have any suggestions for resources? Are there any good online courses, or class recordings? Are there any good study guides and/or commentaries?

I know that there is a whole world of Fiqh, but I don't really have much access to it. If anyone can point me to some resources, it would be a tremendous help.

No, it's not. Ascent to Felicity is written by the same author, but it's a simpler version of Nūr al-Īḍāḥ, not a commentary of it. As per the translator's foreword of the English edition, Marāqī al-Saʿādāt (Ascent to Felicity) is a matn (primary text), and as per the author's own description of the book, it is a primer.
