Islamic law is a legal tradition entrenched within a religious context; it is oneof the most intriguing and fascinating areas of Islamic Studies. Manypractitioners of Islam believe that their lives should be governed by adivinely revealed and sanctioned form of law that affects every aspect of theirdaily routines. Thus, whether it be a conventional religious act such asprayer, a customary practice such as marriage, or commercial activities suchas trade, all these activities are determined by their legal validity within theIslamic law.
Islamic law has developed over many centuries of juristic effort into a subtle,complex, and highly developed reality. Thus, Islamic law, like any other, hasits ’sources’ (al-masadir); it also has its ’guiding principles’ (al-usul) thatdictate the nature of its ’evidence’ (al-adilla); it equally employs the use of’legal maxims’ (al-qawa’id) and utilizes a number of underlying ’objectives’(al-maqasid) to underpin the structure of its legal theory.
Volume I of this new Routledge collection brings together the bestscholarship to detail the origins and sources of Islamic law. The materials inVolume II, meanwhile, examine the genesis of schools of law, theirutilization of specific juristic methodologies, and their development of legaltheory. Volume III focuses on the consolidation and stagnation of Islamiclaw in the medieval period, since although the development of the schoolsand a number of competing legal theories played a huge role in thecodification of Islamic law, at the same time the competitive nature of suchmethodologies led to divisiveness because of strict adherence to a specificschool. The final volume in the collection examines Islamic law today, andthe challenges of living in a modern, technologically advanced world.
Supplemented with a full index, Islamic Law includes a comprehensiveintroduction newly written by the editor which places the collected materialin its historical and intellectual context. It is certain to be valued as a vitalresearch resource.
