Why don't you give exact delivery time?
Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

Short description:
A re-examination of the methodological structure of Islamic law and its relations with the political field. It poses the question of whether Islamic law was increasingly closed and rigid. Such closure in fact never took place. Flexibility remained extant via terms such as ijtihad, istihsan and 'urf.
MoreLong description:
In the final phase of its pre-modern period of existence, Islamic Law is based mainly on the fatwa collections of two prominent Arab jurists and one Turkish jurist from this period.
The book re-examines the basic methodological structure of Islamic law (including its complex relations with the state) and poses the question as to whether Islamic law became increasingly closed and rigid. It was found that no such closure ever took place. Flexibility and openness remained vital, via terms such as istihsan, ijtihad and 'urf. Unheralded innovation was also common.
The book will be of importance to those interested in Islamic law, as well as to those interested in Islamic thought in general and the relations between society and the state.
'Gerber's book gives us a taste of some of the recent developments in the field of Islamic legal studies and of the significance and richness of Ottoman legal sources. It also shows us the importance of building and wording our arguments carefully.'
Engin Deniz Akarli, Islamic Law and Society, 2000.
