The Beginnings of Islamic Law is a major and innovative
contribution to our understanding of the historical unfolding of
Islamic law. Scrutinizing its historical contexts, the book
proposes that Islamic law is a continuous intermingling of
innovation and tradition. Salaymeh challenges the embedded
assumptions in conventional Islamic legal historiography by
developing a critical approach to the study of both Islamic and
Jewish legal history. Through case studies of the treatment of war
prisoners, circumcision, and wife-initiated divorce, she examines
how Muslim jurists incorporated and transformed 'Near Eastern'
legal traditions. She also demonstrates how socio-political and
historical situations shaped the everyday practice of law, legal
education, and the organization of the legal profession in the late
antique and medieval eras. Aimed at scholars and students
interested in Islamic history, Islamic law, and the relationship
between Jewish and Islamic legal traditions, this book's
interdisciplinary approach provides accessible explanations and
translations of complex materials and ideas.
