{"product_id":"an-anthology-of-islamic-legal-theory","title":"An Anthology of Islamic Legal Theory","description":"U?ul al-fiqh — Islamic legal theory — is the discipline through which Muslim scholars determined how divine revelation becomes binding law. Opening with a substantial English-language introduction to the discipline and its major schools, this anthology gathers Arabic primary-source excerpts from seven legal-theological traditions (?anafi, Maliki, Shafi?i, ?anbali, Imami, Zaydi and Iba?i), spanning the eighth to the twenty-first centuries. Rather than ordering texts by school or chronology, it arranges them across ten themes. In doing so, this book reveals the u?ul al-fiqh discipline as a trans-madhhab discourse with shared questions and competing answers.   Drawing on foundational works of legal theory from al-Shafi?i’s al-Risala through to modern Najaf seminary manuals, this volume makes visible a shared analytical discourse that is obscured through a school-based or chronological lens.","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57503816024437,"sku":"9781399564670","price":125.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/an-anthology-of-islamic-legal-theory","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
