"Harmonizing Similarities" is a study of the legal distinctions
(al-furuq al-fiqhiyya) literature and its role in the development
of the Islamic legal heritage. This book reconsiders how the public
performance of Islamic law helped shape legal literature. It
identifies the origins of this tradition in contemporaneous
lexicographic and medical literature, both of which demonstrated
the productive potential of drawing distinctions. Elias G. Saba
demonstrates the implications of the legal furuq and how changes to
this genre reflect shifts in the social consumption of Islamic
legal knowledge. The interest in legal distinctions grew out of the
performance of knowledge in formalized legal disputations. From
here, legal distinctions incorporated elements of play through its
interactions with the genre of legal riddles. As play, books of
legal distinctions were supplements to performance in literary
salons, study circles, and court performances; these books also
served as mimetic objects, allowing the reader to participate in a
session virtually. Saba underscores how social and intellectual
practices helped shape the literary development of Islamic law and
that literary elaboration became a main driver of dynamism in
Islamic law. This monograph has been awarded the annual BRAIS - De
Gruyter Prize in the Study of Islam and the Muslim World.
