The Oxford Handbook of Islamic Law provides an innovative
historiographical examination of a wide range of topics in the
areas of Islamic Law and Islamic Legal Studies. ... Its
comprehensive nature and structure, where for the first time such
diverse topics that encompass Islamic Law have been included in one
volume, make it unique. ... The Handbook is most suited to
postgraduate students, scholars and academics who wish for a
comprehensive and authoritative guide to research in this area.
*Sairah Narmah-Alqasim, The Law Teacher*
This handbook is clearly set to be a major modern reference work
for scholars and students of Islam and Islamic law for years to
come ... The two North American Professors are to be thanked for
producing over a 1,000-pages of scholarship which will help those
who "regularly confront artificial limits imposed by the
disciplinary formation (s) of Islamic legal studies". We are
fortunate, indeed, to have this new work available to us.
