Explanation

The Fatawa-i-Alamgiri is a comprehensive digest of Islamic law (Sharia) based on the Hanafi school, compiled during the reign of the Mughal Emperor Aurangzeb (who held the title 'Alamgir'). It was prepared by a group of approximately 500 prominent scholars led by Sheikh Nizam Burhanpuri. The work served as the principal legal code for the Mughal Empire, addressing issues ranging from statecraft and military strategy to family law and religious practice.

In contrast, Fatawa-i-Jahandari was authored by the historian Ziauddin Barani during the Delhi Sultanate period, focusing more on political philosophy and the duties of a Muslim ruler. The other options provided are not recognized historical legal texts from the Mughal era.
