Law, Society and Culture in the Maghrib, 1300-1500 (Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization) Book

David Powers analyses the application of Islamic law through six cases which took place during the period 1300 to 1500 in the Maghrib. The source for these disputes are fatwas issued by the muftis, which the author uses to situate each case in its historical context and to interpret the principles of law. In so doing he demonstrates that, contrary to popular stereotypes, muftis were dedicated to reasoned argument. The book represents a ground-breaking approach to a complex field which will be read by students and relished by scholars.Read More
