Opis

The concept of Sunna, as one of the two normative fountainheads of the Islamic tradition, is of fundamental importance to the understanding of nearly all of the branches of Islamic knowledge including Islamic law and politics. This volume equips readers with a comprehensive overview of the nature and the scope of the concept of Sunna both in pre-modern and modern Islamic contexts and discussions. The various contributors each examine how Sunna was understood and possibly evolved during the formative (the first three centuries Hijri) and classical periods (ending at beginning of sixth century Hijri) of Islamic religious thought. The book focuses on shedding more light on the context in which the term Sunna in the major works of Islamic law and legal theory across all of the major madhahib was employed during the first six centuries Hijri. The Sunna and its Status in Islamic Law delves into and deconstructs the conceptual, epistemological, and hermeneutical relationship between the concepts of Sunna and the concept of sound (sahih) hadith as understood in various Sunni madhahib as well as in early Islamic history and theology.

Recenzje

"A new academic work on Sunna is welcome, in order to update researchers and readers on current debates on Sunna and Hadith. ... the book offers access to a wide range of conceptions of Sunna among legal theorists, jurists, theologians and traditionalists. ... this book has its place in Sunna studies, and should be useful for teachers, students and researchers in Islamic studies." (Abdessamad Belhaj, Islam and Christian-Muslim relations, Vol. 28 (3), 2017)
