The Art of Islamic Lawmaking

Challenge conventional wisdom and explore a fresh perspective on Islamic law in "Redefining Islamic Law: Beyond Jurists and Fiqh." This book seeks to expand our understanding of Islamic law beyond the traditional view of the fiqh of jurists as the sole source of guidance.

In the dominant historiography of Islamic law, it is often characterized as a sacred and unchanging theory, the ideal yardstick for the application of Islamic law. However, this rigidity has been cited as a reason for its alleged inability to adapt to the evolving needs of society. Consequently, secular legal systems were created to address these shortcomings.
