This book explores the relationship between custom and Islamic law
and seeks to uncover the role of custom in the construction of
legal rulings. On a deeper level, however, it deals with the
perennial problem of change and continuity in the Islamic legal
tradition (or any tradition for that matter). It is argued that
custom ("urf" and "adah") was one of the important tools that the
jurists used to accommodate change and to adjust the rulings of
shariah to the ever changing conditions in particular social and
historical contexts. The book presents a diachronic study of the
development of the concept of custom (and the different terms that
have been associated with it) in the Islamic legal tradition.
