The Research Handbook on Islamic Law and Society provides an
examination of the role of Islamic law as it applies in Muslim and
non-Muslim societies through legislation, fatwa, court cases,
sermons, media, or scholarly debate. It illuminates and analyses
the intersection of social, political, economic and cultural
contexts in which state actors have turned to Islamic law for legal
solutions. Taking a thematic approach, the Research Handbook
assesses the application of Islamic law across six key areas:
family law and courts; property and business; criminal law and
justice; ethics, health and sciences; arts and education; and
community and public spheres. Through examination of these themes
in over 20 jurisdictions, the Research Handbook serves to
demonstrate that Islamic law is adaptable depending on the values
of Muslim societies across different times and places. In addition,
the Research Handbook highlights how Islamic law has engaged with
contemporary issues, looking beyond what is set out in the Qur'an
and the Hadith, to examine how Islamic law is applied in societies
today. Researchers and scholars with an interest in Islamic law, or
the relationship between law and society more generally will find
this Research Handbook to be an engaging text. The in-depth
analysis, spanning sectors and jurisdictions, will offer new
insights and inspire future research. Contributors include: M. Ali,
