This title examines the usefulness, challenges and limits of
ijtihad for Muslims today. The resurgence of Islam, geopolitical
crises involving Muslim nations, violence associated with Islam and
the immigration of millions of Muslims to Western countries have
generated a strong interest in understanding Islamic law. The
challenges of these new realities have impressed upon Muslims the
need to rethink classical jurisprudence and a powerful contemporary
ijtihad - the process of making a legal decision by independent
interpretation of the legal sources. This book explores the limits
and controversies of this development in the context of the diverse
needs of Muslim cultures and communities living in Muslim and
non-Muslim nations and continents including Europe and North
America. This title explains diverse bodies of Islamic law
including fiqh, qanun and siyar. It supplements Arabic terms from
the Basic Code with English substitutes. It analyses the forces
shaping contemporary ijtihadPresents a jurisprudential guide
suitable for jurists, judges, national legislatures, and teachers
and students and law and Islamic studies.
