In the critical period when Islamic law first developed, a new breed of jurists        developed a genre of legal theory treatises to explore how the fundamental moral        teachings of Islam might operate as a legal system. Seemingly rhetorical and        formulaic, these manuals have long been overlooked for the insight they offer into        the early formation of Islamic conceptions of law and its role in social life.In        this book, Rumee Ahmed shatters the prevailing misconceptions of the purpose and        form of the Islamic legal treatise. Ahmed describes how Muslim jurists used the        genre of legal theory to argue for individualized, highly creative narratives about        the application of Islamic law while demonstrating loyalty to inherited principles        and general prohibitions. These narratives are revealed through careful attention to        the nuanced way in which legal theorists defined terms and concepts particular tothe        legal theory genre, and developed pictures of multiple worlds in which Islamic law        should ideally function. Ahmed takes the reader into the logic of Islamic legal        theory to uncover diverse conceptions of law and legal application in the Islamic        tradition, clarifying and making accessible thesometimes obscure legal theories of        central figures in the history of Islamic law. The book offers important insights        about the ways in which legal philosophy and theology mutually influenced premodern        jurists as they formulated their respective visions of law, ethics, and theology.The        volume is the first in the Oxford Islamic Legal Studies series. Satisfying the        growing interest in Islam and Islamic law, the series speaks to both specialists and        those interested in the study of a legal tradition that shapes lives and societies        across the globe. The series features innovative and interdisciplinary studies that        explore Islamic law as it operates in shaping private decision making, binding        communities, and as domestic positive law. The series also sheds new lighton the        history and jurisprudence of Islamic law and provides for a richer understanding of        the state of Islamic law in the contemporary Muslim world, including parts of the        world where Muslims are minorities.
