Based on a comparative analysis of several hundred religio-juristic
treatises and fatwas (religious decisions), Shari'a and Muslim
Minorities: The Wasati and Salafi Approaches to Fiqh al-Aqalliyyat
al-Muslima offers the most systematic and comprehensive study to
date of fiqh al aqalliyyat al-Muslima - the field in Islamic
jurisprudence that treats issues that are unique to Muslims living
in majority non-Muslim societies. The book argues that two main
contesting approaches to fiqh al-aqalliyyat al-Muslima, the wasati
and the salafi, have developed, in part dialectically. While both
envision a future Islamizing of the West as a main justification
for Muslim residence in the West, the wasati approach is pragmatic,
facilitating, and integration-minded, whereas the salafi calls for
strict application of religious norms and for introversion. The
volume examines diverse and highly-debated juristic issues,
including the permissibility of naturalizing in non-Muslim states,
participating in their electoral systems and serving in their
militaries and police forces; the permissibility of taking
mortgages and student loans; the permissibility of congratulating
Christians on Christmas or receiving Christmas bonuses; and the
permissibility of working in professions that involve breaching of
religio-legal prohibitions (e.g. serving pork). Discussions
highlight the diversity within contemporary Islamic jurisprudence
and introduce new nuances to highly-charged concepts such as
proselytizing, integration, and multiculturalism.
