This book delivers the first truly comprehensive exploration of Ibāḍī law, shining a spotlight on a legal tradition long left in the shadows of Islamic studies. By following Ibāḍī sources from their earliest beginnings to the 20th century, it reveals a dynamic madhhab that shaped debates across regions and eras. What makes this study groundbreaking is its bold, integrative approach: it offers a path beyond the dominant Sunni-centric (and secondarily Shiʿi-centric) narratives on Islam, adopting an approach that considers Ibāḍī, Sunni, and Shiʿi perspectives as equally vital to reconstructing Islam's legal history. This shift breaks open the field, offering a fresh, compelling way to read the formative centuries of Islamic law and its remarkable diversity.
