William Hay Macnaghten (1793 1841), of the Bengal Civil Service,
published this work in 1825. It is a compilation of principles and
precedents of Islamic law, focusing on family, inheritance and
property law, including the status of slaves. Born in India and
from a legal family, Macnaghten used his skill in languages as well
as his legal training to produce this monumental work, and a
similar two-volume treatise on Hindu law (1828 9). Quoting from
both Sanskrit and Arabic sources, Part I discusses the principles
of family law, inheritance, sales, wills, and slavery, while Part
II offers precedents in all these areas, and an appendix gives
details of the cases cited. Macnaghten was involved in political as
well as legal work, and the disastrous First Anglo-Afghan War was
begun largely on his advice. He was killed by an Afghan leader
during negotiations outside Kabul in 1841.
