The first and much-needed English translation of a
thirteenth-century text that shaped the development of Islamic law
in the late middle ages. Scholars of Islamic law can find few
English language translations of foundational Islamic legal texts,
particularly from the understudied Mamluk era. In this edition of
the Tamyiz, Mohammad Fadel addresses this gap, finally making the
great Muslim jurist Shihab al-Din al-Qarafi's seminal work
available to a wider audience. Al-Qarafi's examination of the
distinctions among judicial rulings, which were final and
unassailable, legal opinions, which were advisory and not binding,
and administrative actions, which were binding but amenable to
subsequent revision, remained standard for centuries and are still
actively debated today.
