| Description: | Now available for the the first time in paperback, this text deals with the theory and preactice of Islamic law in both the formative classic and modern periods and over a range of societies. It is divided into four sections dealing with legal theory, fatxas and muftis in classical Islamic law and modern developments in Islamic law. |
| Key Points: | Islamic Law: Theory & Practice explores the concept of ijtihad or juristic digression - the process through which a jurist apprehends God's law and can turn it into a legal ruling - and how this has influenced the formulations of law in both Sunni and Shi'i Islam. The subject is viewed from a historical as well as a theoretical angle. |
