Dār Al-Islām Revisited - Territoriality in Contemporary Islamic Legal Discourse on Muslims in the West

In Dār al-Islām Revisited, Sarah Albrecht explores how the Islamic legal tradition of dividing the world into the "territory of Islam" and other geo-religious categories is reinterpreted today and how it impacts current debates on religious authority, identity, and the interpretation of the shariʿa in the West.
