Anotace

This course will examine the development, concepts, and methods of Islamic law as well as its implementation in diverse societies. We will begin discussing notions of law – what law is and how Islamic Law compares to other legal systems. We will discuss the early development of Islamic law, its sources and methods, its division into legal schools, and its application in a variety of places and times. We will see that far from being monolithic, Islamic law is diverse in both theory and practice. As we look at doctrines and implementation of Islamic law, we will focus on purity rules, "forbidding wrong," jihad, and family law in the classical, medieval, and modern eras, up to the present day.
