Qashlan prepared his graduation project on comparative rulings in ritual purity under the title al-Masail al-Fiqhiyya fi Daw Ma Uttafeqa Alayhi fi al-Taharat . The treatise received a commendatory review (taqriz) from Dr. Muhammad Abd al-Latif al-Farfur, who praised it as an auspicious early effort, while offering critical suggestions regarding grammatical points, the standardization of source citations, and relying on authoritative fatwa references for each school rather than introductory teaching texts . Al-Farfur advised him not to rush its publication until thoroughly edited, which Qashlan carried out before publishing the revised work .
