{"product_id":"shiite-legal-theory-kumail-rajani-9781399520256","title":"Shi\u0026#703;ite Legal Theory: Sources and Commentaries","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlongside the individual rules of God's law (\u003ci\u003esharīʿa\u003c\/i\u003e), there has been a vibrant history of more philosophical or theoretical discussions in Islamic thought. Where does God's law come from? How are God's rules to be discovered for situations not covered in the revealed sources? Who, within the Muslim community, can make a valid pronouncement on the content of the \u003ci\u003esharīʿa\u003c\/i\u003e? The answers to these questions have been debated and discussed by Muslim scholars in the genre of literature called \u003ci\u003euṣūl al-fiqh\u003c\/i\u003e, glossed in English language secondary literature as \"Islamic legal theory\". This volume contains editions and commentaries of hitherto un-edited manuscripts from the various strands of the Shiʿite tradition of Islamic thought (Zaydi, Ismaʿili and Twelver). A careful side-by-side reading of these texts and commentaries will help identify themes peculiar to the Shiʿite \"family\" of legal theories. The distinctive Shiʿite contribution to the history of \u003ci\u003euṣūl al-fiqh \u003c\/i\u003ehas not received the attention it deserves in contemporary scholarship; this volume forms part of wider attempt to bring the richness and diversity of Shiʿite \u003ci\u003euṣūl \u003c\/i\u003eto the wider field. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kumail Rajani\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1399520253\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781399520256\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/15\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 352\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.43lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.61h x 6.69w x 0.69d","brand":"Kumail Rajani","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44131927818495,"sku":"9781399520256","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_031c9723-7ae9-4529-96fb-6f6951d95503.jpg?v=1687477218","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/shiite-legal-theory-kumail-rajani-9781399520256","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
