Starting in late 2017, Saudi Arabia embarked on a series of reforms
reversing many socially restrictive policies long associated with
Salafism. These developments have triggered critical questions
about the future of Salafism, crucially: is this the end for the
most influential puritanical Islamic reform movement of the 20th
century? This book introduces the history of the rise and spread of
Salafism during the 20th century as a global Islamic reform
movement. It also explains Salafi tools of methodological
reasoning: traditionally used to justify highly conservative
positions, they now appear equally effective in defending more
liberal life choices. The collection will help readers to
appreciate the diversity of Salafi movements, as well as the
significance of the ongoing socio-economic and political changes
within Saudi Arabia and the wider Muslim world that are enabling
shifts to this conservative Islamic scholarly tradition.
