The diversity of interpretation within Islamic legal traditions can
be challenging for those working within this field of study. Using
a distinctly contextual approach, this book addresses such
challenges by combining theoretical perspectives on Islamic law
with insight into how local understandings impact on the
application of law in Muslim daily life. Engaging with topics as
diverse as Islamic constitutionalism, Islamic finance, human rights
and internet fatawa, Shaheen Sardar Ali provides an invaluable
resource for scholars, students and practitioners alike by
exploring exactly what constitutes Islamic law in the contemporary
world. Useful examples, case studies, a glossary of terms and the
author's personal reflections accompany traditional academic
critique, and together offer the reader a unique and discerning
discussion of Islamic law in practice.
