{"product_id":"early-islam-in-medina-yasin-dutton-9781350261860","title":"Early Islam in Medina: Malik and His Muwatta'","description":"This book considers the transmission of the Sunna through the lens of the great Madinan legal scholar, Imam Malik ibn Anas (d. 179 AH\/795 CE), in his renowned book \u003ci\u003eal-Muwatta', \u003c\/i\u003eor\u003ci\u003e '\u003c\/i\u003eThe well-trodden path'. It considers not only the legal judgements preserved in this book, but also the key scholars involved in the transmission of these judgements, namely, Malik's teachers and students. These different transmissions provide very strong evidence for the reliability of Malik's transmission of the Sunna.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Overriding these textual considerations is the concept of \u003ci\u003e'amal, \u003c\/i\u003e or the Practice of the People of Medina. This is accepted as a prime source by Malik and those following him, but is effectively rejected by the other schools, who prefer \u003ci\u003ehadith\u003c\/i\u003e (textual reports) as an indication of Sunna. Given the contested nature of '\u003ci\u003eamal\u003c\/i\u003e in both ancient and modern times, and the general unawareness of it in contemporary Islamic studies, this source receives extended treatment here. This allows for a deeper understanding of the nature of Islamic law and its development, and, by extension, of Islam itsel\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yasin Dutton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1350261866\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781350261860\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/07\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 152\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.87lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.44d","brand":"Yasin Dutton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44450289451263,"sku":"9781350261860","price":130.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_b65f1b36-7c2d-4bc0-ba4c-82b8cd669835.jpg?v=1698503948","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/early-islam-in-medina-yasin-dutton-9781350261860","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
