- Information
Description
Understanding Islamic law is crucial not only for Muslims, but for non-Muslims who work with Muslims in legal contexts as well as for anyone wanting to understand the role of Islam in the world today.
For unlike western legal systems where religious and legal spheres are kept separate, Islamic law is all-encompassing, directing all human actions.
Legal scholar Hisham Ramadan brings together articles to give an excellent overview of the formation of Islamic law and its role in contemporary Islamic and Non-Islamic states.
Following an overview of Islamic Law, chapters cover Islamic criminal law, International Humanitarian Law, contract law, & family law.
A concluding essay offers an explanation of the legal value of Islam and appendices include original Islamic legal documents from Muhammad's time until today.
