Description
For an introduction to Islamic law that cuts through complexity, turn to this comprehensive guide. Wael Hallaq, a leading scholar and practitioner, presents a clear and engaging overview of the subject's history, practices, and evolution.
The book explores Islamic law in its pre-modern context, before its transformation during the colonial period, and recent developments that have shaped it into a primarily textual entity focused on fixed punishments and ritual requirements. A chronology, glossary, and lists of further reading are included to support your understanding.
