Few deny that in the Muslim world religion and law are intimately
linked. However, local legal realities mean that Islamic law is
often pushed out of the picture by customary law, which is usually
tribal, and by state law. The three may at times produce similar or
identical rulings and it is thus often difficult to identify which
is at work under such circumstances. When the different legal
systems clash, problems start to emerge. "Shattering Tradition"
concentrates on customary law, which is the least investigated of
the three and considers the ruptures and potential for conflict in
Muslim law as well as the continuities and interactions. This
groundbreaking series of empirical case studies investigates the
varying ways in which different forms of law interrelate and it
analyzes how the tensions between them are resolved in local
settings.
