In 1910, al-Mahdi al-Wazzani, a prominent Moroccan Islamic scholar
completed his massive compilation of Maliki fatwas. An
eleven-volume set, it is the most extensive collection of fatwas
written and published in the Arab Middle East during the late
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Al-Wazzani's legal
opinions addressed practical concerns and questions: What are the
ethical and legal duties of Muslims residing under European rule?
Is emigration from non-Muslim territory an absolute duty? Is it
ethical for Muslim merchants to travel to Europe? Is it legal to
consume European-manufactured goods? It was his expectation that
these fatwas would help the Muslim community navigate the modern
world.
In considering al-Wazzani's work, this book explores the creative
process of transforming Islamic law to guarantee the survival of a
Muslim community in a changing world. It is the first study to
treat Islamic revival and reform from discourses informed by the
sociolegal concerns that shaped the daily lives of ordinary people.
Etty Terem challenges conventional scholarship that presents
Islamic tradition as inimical to modernity and, in so doing,
provides a new framework for conceptualizing modern Islamic reform.
Her innovative and insightful reorientation constructs the origins
of modern Islam as firmly rooted in the messy complexity of
everyday life.
