This pioneering study examines the process of reasoning in Islamic
law. Some of the key questions addressed here include whether
sacred law operates differently from secular law, why laws change
or stay the same and how different cultural and historical settings
impact the development of legal rulings. In order to explore these
questions, the author examines the decisions of thirty jurists from
the largest legal tradition in Islam: the Hanafi school of law. He
traces their rulings on the question of women and communal prayer
across a very broad period of time - from the eighth to the
eighteenth century - to demonstrate how jurists interpreted the law
and reconciled their decisions with the scripture and the sayings
of the Prophet. The result is a fascinating overview of how Islamic
law has evolved and the thinking behind individual rulings.
