Introducing undergraduate students to Islamic law, this accessible
textbook does not presume legal or technical knowledge. Drawing on
a comparative approach, it encourages students to think through the
issues of the application of Islamic law where Muslims live as a
majority and where they live as a minority, including the USA,
Saudia Arabia, Egypt, Pakistan. The book surveys the historical
development as well as the contemporary contexts of Islamic law. In
distilling the history of Islamic law for non-specialists, the
author covers important topics such as the development and
transformation of Islamic institutions before and after
colonialism. Coverage of Islamic law across contemporary contexts
draws on real case material, and allows for discussion of Islam as
a legal and a moral code that is activated both inside and outside
the court. Readers will learn about rituals, dietary restrictions,
family, contracts and property, lawful and unlawful gain, criminal
law and punishments, and what makes a government legitimate in the
eyes of Muslim individuals and authorities.
This handbook is a detailed reference source comprising original
articles covering the origins, history, theory and practice of
Islamic law. The handbook starts out by dealing with the question
of what type of law is Islamic law and includes a critical analysis
of the pedagogical approaches to studying and analysing Islamic law
as a discipline. The handbook covers a broad range of issues,
including the role of ethics in Islamic jurisprudence, the
mechanics and processes of interpretation, the purposes and
objectives of Islamic law, constitutional law and secularism,
gender, bioethics, Muslim minorities in the West, jihad and
terrorism. Previous publications on this topic have approached
Islamic law from a variety of disciplinary and pedagogical
perspectives. One of the original features of this handbook is that
it treats Islamic law as a legal discipline by taking into account
the historical functions and processes of legal cultures and the
patterns of legal thought. With contributions from a selection of
highly regarded and leading scholars in this field, the Routledge
Handbook of Islamic Law is an essential resource for students and
scholars who are interested in the field of Islamic Law.
Pitfalls of Scholarship offers an array of reflections on higher
education, its entanglements with humanity's pursuit of natural and
social knowledge, and the impact national environments have upon
it. This book considers the humanities, vocational, and
scientific/technological sides of the university from the
vantage-point of an Islamic studies scholar in twenty-first century
American academia. Four discussions and a personal note make up the
parts of these pages. The first discussion sets the stage with a
description of the irregularities of our age of late modernity and
the limits of scholarship in it. The second focuses on clashes of
personal and academic knowledge with social assumptions and
convictions. Guiding the discussion is an unlikely narrative from
an old era where academic freedom did not exist. The third
discussion points to the surprisingly negative impacts of obsession
with research methods in the modern academy. "Scholarships of
negation" are identified as the main illness of the age, next to
popular exaggerations of the value of standard assumptions and
excellent academic institutions. The fourth and final section deals
with modern education's aspiration toward acquiring democratic
quality, and the implications of further democratization of
education.
