{"product_id":"ebus-suud-colin-imber-9780804760997","title":"Ebu's-Su`ud: The Islamic Legal Tradition","description":"The jurist Ebu's-suud (c. 1490-1574) occupies a key position in the history of Islamic law. 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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Colin Imber\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0804760993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780804760997\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stanford University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/15\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 304\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.82h x 6.21w x 0.64d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 02\/01\/2010 pg. 184","brand":"Colin Imber","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43990370058495,"sku":"9780804760997","price":30.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4ccc8735-921e-469b-9a77-50fd4e184d97.jpg?v=1683304285","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/ebus-suud-colin-imber-9780804760997","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
