Works
- Al Kitab al-Muhallā bi'l Athār (The Book Ornamented with traditions), only existing book of his legal rulings
- Ihkam Al Ahkam fi Usul al Ahkam, usul al fiqh
- Mukhtasar al-Muhalla li Ibn Hazm, an abridgment of Ibn Hazm's fiqh manual
- Ṭawq al-Ḥamāmah (The Dove's Necklace or The Ring of the Dove); In classical Arabic literary tradition, the dove represented love, or romance, while the ring refers to a necklace. In essence, it is the "necklace of love". The book is meant to adorn one's love. It is inspired by 'ishq (defined by Hakim Bey as "crazed, hopeless passion"), and treats equally of desire both for males and females, but cautions the reader against breaking religious injunctions and praises remaining chaste.
Ibn Hazm also wrote more than ten books on medicine.
A number of his works have been translated, including:
- Al-Akhlaq wa al-Siyar fi Mudawat al-Nufus (Morals and Right Conduct in the Healing of Souls")
- Maratib al-`Ulum ("The Categories of the Sciences")
- Al-Mujalla
- Al-Fisal fi al-Milal wa al-Ahwa' wa al-Nihal ("The Separator Concerning Religions, Heresies, and Sects").

Famous quotes containing the word works:
“Do not worry about the incarnation of ideas. If you are a poet, your works will contain them without your knowledge—they will be both moral and national if you follow your inspiration freely.”
—Vissarion Belinsky (1810–1848)
“I shall not bring an automobile with me. These inventions infest France almost as much as Bloomer cycling costumes, but they make a horrid racket, and are particularly objectionable. So are the Bloomers. Nothing more abominable has ever been invented. Perhaps the automobile tricycles may succeed better, but I abjure all these works of the devil.”
—Henry Brooks Adams (1838–1918)
“The family that perseveres in good works will surely have an abundance of blessings.”
—Chinese proverb.
