This classic study deals with the theory and practice of Islamic
law in both the formative classic and modern periods and over a
range of societies. It is divided into four sections dealing with
legal theory; fatwas and muftis in classical Islamic law; the
position of religious minorities under Islamic law, and modern
developments in Islamic law. The book explores the concept of
Ijtihad, or juristic disgression--the process through which a
jurist apprehends God's law and can turn it into a legal
ruling--and how this has influenced the formulations of law in both
Sunni and Shi'i Islam. The subject is viewed from an historical as
well as a theoretical angle.
