Original Islam investigates the primacy of Madinan Islam and the
madhhab (school of law) of its main exponent, Malik ibn Anas. It
contains an annotated translation of Intisar al-faqir al-salik
li-tarjih madhhab al-Imam al-kabir Malik, which was written by
al-Ra'i, a fifteenth-century Andalusian scholar resident in Cairo.
This book includes: a comprehensive section on the scholarly
credentials of the great eighth-century Madinan jurist Malik ibn
Anas a detailed examination of a number of theoretical and
practical disputed legal issues examples of the inter-madhhab
rivalry and prejudice prevalent in fifteenth-century Cairo an
extensive introduction giving background information on al-Ra'i and
his life and times. It also highlights the significance of the text
for contemporary Muslim discourse, in which both "modernist" and
"fundamentalist" elements often equate the concept of madhhab with
an outmoded tradition which must be rejected as irrelevant to the
practice of Islam in a globalized world. This book aims to put this
ongoing controversy about madhhab, particularly the Maliki madhhab
and its "pre-madhhab" Madinan origins, on a surer footing. Original
Islam provides access to a hitherto little known area of Islamic
law and is essential reading for those with interests in this area.
