Arabic term or phrase: مصنفات الفقهاء
على الرغم من توافر جُل الظواهر الَّتي أنضجت العلم الاقتصادي، هذا السبب هو هيمنة الفقيه، والَّذي كان آنذاك لديه الإجابة، الشرعية، عن كل ما هو اجتماعي ولذا، حينما ظهر أصحاب العقول العلمية الجبارة كابن حيان، والخوارزمي، والكندي، والفارابي، وابن سينا، وابن رشد، لم تكن لتشغلهم مسائل النشاط الاقتصادي الَّتي عالجتها مصنفات الفقهاء (وهي المصنفات الَّتي تتلمذ بالفعل عليها أكثرهم)،

Explanation:
The fragment of the text presented by the asker is too limited to give a clear understanding of the intent of the passage. Here is the passage in question as it should have been presented:

ومن هنا يمكننا استنتاج السبب، ربما الوحيد، الَّذي منع نشأة (علم) اقتصادي في القرن العاشر، في بغداد أو قرطبة، على الرغم من توافر جُل الظواهر الَّتي أنضجت العلم الاقتصادي، هذا السبب هو هيمنة الفقيه، والَّذي كان آنذاك لديه الإجابة، الشرعية، عن كل ما هو اجتماعي. ولذا، حينما ظهر أصحاب العقول العلمية الجبارة كابن حيان والخوارزمي والكندي والرهاوي والفارابي والحسن بن الهيثم والبيروني وابن سينا وابن باجة والإدريسي وابن رشد والجزري لم تكن لتشغلهم مسائل النشاط الاقتصادي الَّتي ضمتها مؤلَّفات الفقه ومصنفات فحوله، والَّتي تتلمذ بالفعل عليها أكثرهم، فقد كانت تلك المسائل محسومة معالجتها الفقهية آنذاك، وكان المهم هو معرفة الأحكام الشرعية للمعاملات، لا القوانين الموضوعية للظواهر

This passage is often quoted and, unfortunately, misquoted. In particular, the phrase in question appears in two forms:

مصنفات الفقهاء
مؤلفات الفقه ومصنفات فحوله

If I were the editorial consultant for this work, I would have voted for the shorter phrase. However, looking at both of them at the same time makes it clear that the writer could have expressed himself in many different ways:

مؤلفات الفقه، مؤلفات الفقهاء، مؤلفات فحول الفقهاء
مصنفات الفقه، مصنفات الفقهاء، مصنفات فحول الفقهاء

. . . and possibly many more. We must acknowledge that they all mean the same things, more or less: works on Islamic jurisprudence. Does it matter whether we modify the works by naming the content (jurisprudence) or by attributing them to the class of authors (jurisprudence scholars)? The author himself does not seem to have a preference. Both versions exist in Arabic, as I have demonstrated above. I prefer the shorter version, but that is a matter of personal style, so I leave it to the asker.

The writer seems disinclined to use the word "books." He wanted to use either مؤلفات or مصنفات, which mean the same thing: authored works. That is his preference and his choice, so we should respect that.

والمصنفات في عمومها هي المؤلفات، وفي اصطلاح المحدثين هي الكتب المرتبة على الأبواب الفقهية والمشتمل على الأحاديث المرفوعة والموقوفة والمقطوعة، يعني فيها الأحاديث النبوية وأقوال الصحابة وفتاوى التابعين وفتاوى أتباع التابعين أحيانا،
