An Ottoman tradition, which began in the seventeenth century and which modern historians often reiterate, asserts that Ebu's-suud succeeded in harmonizing the secular law with the \u003ci\u003eshari 'a\u003c\/i\u003e, creating, in effect, a new ideal Islamic legal system. This book examines the validity of this assertion. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe author begins by choosing five areas of Islamic law for analysis: the Sultan and legal sovereignty; land tenure and taxation; trusts in mortmain; marriage and the family; and crimes and torts. In each of these areas, he lays out the most important rules and concepts in the Islamic juristic tradition, and then gives his translations of a selection of Ebu's-suud's writings on the topic in question, with a brief analysis. From these materials, the author suggests that readers draw their own conclusions as to whether Ebu's-suud did indeed reconcile Ottoman secular legal practice with the sacred law.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Colin Imber","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48291547119867,"sku":"9780804729277","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0779\/3917\/9771\/files\/9780804729277.jpg?v=1772482402","url":"https:\/\/indiepubs.com\/products\/ebus-suud-9780804729277","provider":"IndiePubs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
