The Logic of Law Making in Islam
This pioneering study examines the process of reasoning in Islamic law. Some of the key questions addressed here include whether sacred law operates differently from secular law, why laws change or stay the same and how different cultural and historical settings impact the development of legal rulings. In order to explore these questions, the author examines the decisions of thirty jurists from the largest legal tradition in Islam: the Hanafi school of law. He traces their rulings on the question of women and communal prayer across a very broad period of time - from the eighth to the eighteenth century - to demonstrate how jurists interpreted the law and reconciled their decisions with the scripture and the sayings of the Prophet. The result is a fascinating overview of how Islamic law has evolved and the thinking behind individual rulings"
Islamic Law and International Law
Islamic Law and International Law provides a comprehensive comparison of the Islamic legal tradition and international law, especially in the context of dispute settlement. Do states of the Islamic milieu avoid international courts? How do they view mediation and arbitration? Is Islamic legal tradition incompatible with international law? The answer to the "Islamic law-international law nexus puzzle" lies in the diversity of how secular and religious laws fuse in domestic legal systems across the Islamic milieu. States are not Islamic to the same degree or in the same way. Consequently, different international conflict management methods appeal to different states.
