Abstract:
"The contributions to this volume are based on lectures presented at a seminar on Islamic Law held in Copenhagen and Lund in March 1993. The background for this seminar was the growing importance of Islamic law in contemporary Muslim societies. Today, a number o f Muslim countries are revising their constitutions, stipulating that Islamic Law be the sole source for legislation, and Muslim scholars and intellectuals are debating whether and how Islamic Law can be codified and applied. The book covers selected issues in Islamic Law, past and present, with many of the contributions focusing on the methods employed by Muslim scholars to develop and change legal concepts and rulings, while maintaining their religious identity."
