Reviews

The fatwa is one of the foundation stones of the Islamic legal system, and the importance of this book lies in drawing the attention of the Western scholarly audience to it. After a lucid introduction to the theory and practice of fatwas, individual articles expose a great diversity of fatwas, examining each of them in close-focus or dense description. Authors approach the cases intelligently, suggestively, and from a broad variety of disciplines. By the end of the book the reader has gained a rich experience of fatwas, and has learned how fundamental and essential, and how subtly versatile, they are.
