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.

MoreLong description:
This collective volume, in honor of Aharon Layish, deals with the main components in the laws of Islamic societies, past and present: shar??a, custom, and statute. Some chapters focus on one of these components, other discuss the interplay between two or even all three of them.
The geographical coverage of the volume is wide, from the Balkans to Yemen, and from Iraq to the Maghrib. The chapters are based on a variety of sources: fiqh literature, fatw?s, court decisions, judicial circulars, biographical dictionaries and chronics.
The volume will be of special interest to historians, social scientists and lawyers working on Islamic and Israeli laws, and to those interested in gender studies, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and Islamic cultures at large.
