In the first chapter, we survey the state of the field, sketching the history, structure, and modern transformation of the qadiship. The twenty chapters that follow are grouped thematically in four sections: (1) the nature and functions of the judgeship and its development over time; (2) the structure of the judicial apparatus; (3) the application of juristic thought and reasoning to specific cases in selected areas of the law; and (4) judicial procedure and the different forms of evidence. The volume fills a large gap in Islamic legal history.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Originally published in hardcover.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Muhammad Khalid Masud\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 9004226834\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9789004226838\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Brill\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/23\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 594\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.40h x 6.30w x 1.30d","brand":"Muhammad Khalid Masud","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48487118307583,"sku":"9789004226838","price":53.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8140f67e-7c90-4119-a9c4-c7e293649988.jpg?v=1778058469","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/dispensing-justice-in-islam-muhammad-khalid-masud-9789004226838","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
