Overview

"This book contains the translation of ""Intisar al-faqir al-salik li-tarjih madhhab al-Imam al-kabir Malik"", which was written by al-Ra'i, a ninth-century Andalusian scholar. This text explains the basis of ""madhhab"" (school of law) and serves as a background for further enquiries into the nature of the Maliki ""madhhab"". In this book, Yasin Dutton puts the ongoing controversy about ""madhhab"", particularly the Maliki ""madhhab"" and its 'pre-""madhhab'"" Madinan origins, on a surer footing. The first part of the book consists of a introduction, giving background information on al-Ra'i and his life and times, discussing the content and significance of the ""Intisar"", providing general information on the Maliki ""madhhab"" and its origins and a discourse on certain key issues relating to the subject in contemporary Islamic studies. Part two consists of a fully annotated translation of the al-Ra'i text."
