The book argues that two main contesting approaches to \u003cem\u003efiqh al-aqalliyyat al-Muslima\u003c\/em\u003e, the \u003cem\u003ewasati\u003c\/em\u003e and the \u003cem\u003esalafi\u003c\/em\u003e, have developed, in part dialectically. While both envision a future Islamizing of the West as a main justification for Muslim residence in the West, the \u003cem\u003ewasati\u003c\/em\u003e approach is pragmatic, facilitating, and integration-minded, whereas the salafi calls for strict application of religious norms and for introversion. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe volume examines diverse and highly-debated juristic issues, including the permissibility of naturalizing in non-Muslim states, participating in their electoral systems and serving in their militaries and police forces; the permissibility of taking mortgages and student loans; the permissibility of congratulating Christians on Christmas or receiving Christmas bonuses; and the permissibility of working in professions that involve breaching of religio-legal prohibitions (e.g. serving pork). Discussions highlight the diversity within contemporary Islamic jurisprudence and introduce new nuances to highly-charged concepts such as proselytizing, integration, and multiculturalism.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Uriya Shavit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198757239\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198757238\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Oxford University Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/12\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 314\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.10w x 1.00d","brand":"Uriya Shavit","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47424982155519,"sku":"9780198757238","price":145.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_efd39cfe-3a38-44b1-a5b8-60b3e01f9565.jpg?v=1761536187","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/sharaia-and-muslim-minorities-uriya-shavit-9780198757238","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
