Sharia law is often misunderstood, especially regarding its treatment of non-Muslims. However, the Sharia has a rich tradition of justice, allowing non-Muslims such as Christians and Jews to follow their own laws while living in Muslim-majority societies.

Understanding Khula and Associated Legal Aspects in Islamic Law

In the intricacies of Islamic law governing marriage, the concept of Khula holds significant importance, often concealed within the Nikah nama or marriage contract. This provision grants the husband the right to bestow the power of divorce upon his wife, a clause unfamiliar to many.

Shari’a: Islamic Law in the Contemporary Context

This volume presents ten leading scholars' writings on contemporary Islamic law and Muslim thought. The essays examine a range of issues, from modern Muslim discourses on justice, natural law, and the common good, to democracy, the social contract, and "the authority of the preeminent jurist."

'a

Changes in how Shari'a has been understood over the centuries are explored, as well as how it has been applied in both Sunni and Shi'i Islam. Debates on the nature, interpretation, reform, and application of Shari'a lie at the core of all Islamist revivalist ideologies and movements of the past two centuries. The demand for the implementation of Shari'a is one of the hallmarks of Islamic fundamentalism, and Shari'a has become one of the most controversial and politicized concepts in Muslim-majority countries today. This is one of the first books to examine how Muslims understand and apply Shari'a in contemporary societies.

The religious edict by the Indonesian Ulema Council (MUI) said #Muslims in the country must support the #Palestinians’ struggle against “Israeli aggression”, while also declaring that support for #Israel or its supporters is “#haram”, or against #IslamicLaw. #Fatwas have no legal force and are aimed at encouraging the devout against taking a certain course of action. #Indonesia

This book considers an important and largely neglected area of Islamic law by exploring how medieval Muslim jurists resolved criminal cases that could not be proven beyond a doubt, calling into question a controversial popular notion about Islamic law today, which is that Islamic law is a divine legal tradition that has little room for discretion or doubt, particularly in Islamic criminal law.

Through examination of legal, historical, and theological sources, and a range of illustrative case studies, this book shows that Muslim jurists developed a highly sophisticated and regulated system for dealing with Islam's unique concept of doubt, which evolved from the seventh to the sixteenth century.
