{"product_id":"islamic-law-and-muslim-same-sex-junaid-jahangir-9781498537827","title":"Islamic Law and Muslim Same-Sex Unions","description":"This book is written with the objective of reasonably addressing the need of Muslim gays and lesbians for a life which involves intimacy, affection and companionship within the confines of a legal contract. Contemporary conservative Muslim leaders unreasonably promote false marriages with straight spouses, failing which they prescribe the \"solution\" of permanent celibacy as a \"test.\" This book delves into an extensive scholarship on the same sources that conservative Muslim leaders draw on--the Qur'an, Hadith and jurisprudence. It is argued that the primary sources of Muslim knowledge addressed sexual acts between the same gender in the context of inhospitality, exploitation, coercion and disease, but not true same-sex unions; past Muslim scholarship is silent on the issue of sexual orientation and Muslim same-sex unions. The arguments of contemporary conservative Muslim leaders are deconstructed and the case for Muslim same-sex unions is made based on jurisprudential principles and thorough arguments from within the Muslim tradition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Junaid Jahangir, Hussein Abdullatif\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1498537820\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781498537827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lexington Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/15\/2018\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 294\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.00lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.90h x 21.30w x 0.90d","brand":"Junaid Jahangir","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44124187132159,"sku":"9781498537827","price":54.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e4e559e9-bfa0-4301-96da-089dc839db20.jpg?v=1687435257","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/islamic-law-and-muslim-same-sex-junaid-jahangir-9781498537827","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
