No legal system in the world has aroused as much public interest as Sharia. However, the discourse around Sharia law is largely focussed on its development and the theories, principles and rules that inform it. Less attention has been given to studying the consequences of its operation, particularly in the area of Islamic criminal law. Even fewer studies explore the actual practice of Islamic criminal law in contemporary societies. This book aims to fill these gaps in our understanding of Sharia law in practice. It deals specifically with the consequences of enforcing Islamic criminal law in Pakistan, providing an in-depth and critical analysis of the application of the Islamic law of Qisas and Diyat (retribution and blood money) in the Muslim world today. The empirical evidence adduced more broadly demonstrates the complications of applying traditional Sharia in a modern state.

Literal meaning is what a text means in itself, regardless of what its author intends to convey or the reader understands to be its message. The idea of literal meaning, together with insights from modern semantic and pragmatic philosophers, informs this reading of Islamic legal hermeneutics. Robert Gleave explores various competing notions of literal meaning, linked to both theological doctrine and historical developments. The idea of a text's literal meaning that rules over human attempts to understand God's message has become an element in discussions about who has the authority to interpre

Providing a ground-breaking investigation into the changing ideas of kinship in the Middle East, the author documents Islamic responses to assisted reproductive technologies such as in vitro fertilization through fieldwork in Lebanon and the extensive reading of Islamic legal texts. This ethnography is brought to bear on the latest theories of Middle Eastern kinship, as well as the "new kinship" studies in anthropology generally. Lebanon is home to both Sunni and Shiite Muslims, and the book thus provides a full account of both schools of legal opinion: in the case of the latter, a number of t

Se fondant sur une riche documentation inédite, cette étude montre que, contrairement à l’idée selon laquelle les biens d’une fondation pieuse (waqf) sont inaliénables, de nombreux biens affectés à des waqfs de Jérusalem entre 1858 et 1917 étaient offerts, vendus, spoliés, donnés en héritage ou transformés en propriétés privées, par des voies légales ou illégales. À partir de nombreuses sources de première main (archives conservées en Palestine, en Jordanie, en Turquie, en France, en Allemagne et au Royaume-Uni), l’auteur examine les modalités selon lesquelles, dans le cadre du droit musulman et de la législation ottomane, un bien waqf pouvait changer de statut et devenir une propriété privée. Il met en lumière les stratégies et les procédures par lesquelles différents acteurs ont participé à cette transformation et montre comment, à travers divers types de contrats, les gestionnaires des waqfs, ainsi que les représentants des autorités politiques et religieuses locales, du pouvoir ottoman et des puissances étrangères, ont contribué à s’approprier les biens affectés à ces waqfs dans le cadre d’intérêts personnels ou collectifs. Durant les six dernières décennies ottomanes, le paysage foncier de Jérusalem fut ainsi profondément bouleversé.
