    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.

    This volume is unique as a collection of studies devoted entirely to topics and issues in the field of Islamic legal theory and authored by fourteen scholars known for their work in this field. The studies deal with such topics as early notions of charismatic authority, hermeneutic techniques in Sh?fi??'s Ris?lah, uses of the term sunnah in the ninth century A.H., evidence for the emergence of us?l al-fiqh as a genre of legal literature in the ninth century, the function of us?l al-fiqh in relation to legal practice, theological ramifications of issues in us?l al-fiqh, Sh??? attitudes to qiy?s, the structure of juristic authority within the madhhab, us?l al-fiqh as an instrument of reform, the place of qaw??id within Islamic legal theory. These studies are followed by a discussion among the authors.

    'This book is unique?This is a magnificent piece of scholarship, and the authors are to be congratulated on their tremendous contribution to the literature on Islamic legal theory.'
    Al Aalam Magazine, 2001.
