Synopsis

Explore the foundations of Muhammadan law and how jurists built a scientific system from sacred texts and classical reasoning.

This edition surveys the growth of the Muhammadan legal tradition, from its early customs to the formal study of law as a distinct science. It outlines the key sources, theories, and methods used by scholars across the major Sunni schools to interpret law and apply it to real life.

• How law originated, developed, and classed within the Muhammadan system


• Core concepts like sources, jurisprudence, and consensus (ijma') and their practical use


• Different approaches to deduction, analogy (qiyas), equity, and reform through juristic reasoning

Ideal for readers of legal history who want to understand the true basis and character of the four Sunni schools of law and their role in modern legal thought.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book embodies the substance of the lectures which I delivered in the University of Calcutta, as Tagore Professor for the year 1907, and I greatly regret that there should have been so much delay, due to reasons altogether personal to myself, in the publication of the book. The first Chapter is intended to be introductory, and its usefulness will, I trust, be apparent, especially with reference to the topics discussed in Chapters XI to XII. I ought to mention that, in writing the earlier portion of the first Chapter, I derived valuable suggestions from Mr. Macdonald sexcellent treatise on Muhammadan Theology. Chapters II to Vcontain an exposition of A l-U siil or the Science of Law, as developed by the Muhammadan jurists tween the eighth and the fourteenth centuries of the Christian Era. Much of this part of the book is practically a translation of Sadru sh-S hari ats Taudih which was written sometime in the fourteenth century and is recognized as a standard work on the subject. The other writings on Usui which I have largely consulted are Taftazanis Talwih ,which is a commentary on Taudih ,F akhru l-I slams A l-U sul and its commentary Kashfu 1-I srar ,M usullumu th-T habut ,by Muhibbullah and its commentaries by Bahrul Ulum and others, A ttaqrir-wa t Tahbir ,by I bn Hammaru, Nifr-u l-A nwar ,by Mullah Jiwan ;J am ul Jawami ,by Tajuddin Subki with its commentary by A l-M ahalli and the gloss known as A l-A yatu 1-B ayyinat and A l-M ukhtaaar by I bn Hajib with Qadi Udud scommentary thereon. In writing the remaining chapters I have not had the same invaluable help of these eminent jurists, who did not think tit to pursue their investigations beyond the limits of the topics dealt with in Chapters II to V.
