[387]-399) and indexes.Shafii's concept of the Bayan -- Two hermeneutical techniques -- Prophetic sunna and hadith in the Risala -- The Quran in Shafii's Risala -- Shafii's epistemology -- Internal evidence for the Risala's polemical context -- Ijma in the Risala -- The Risala and its relationship to mature Uml al-Fiqh.The Risāla of al-Shāfiʿī (d. 204/820), the earliest preserved work of Islamic legal theory, has been understood in previous scholarship as either the elaboration of a hierarchy of sources of law (Qurʾān, Sunna, consensus, and analogical reasoning) or an extended defense of the Sunna. Through a careful rereading of this celebrated text, this book offers a comprehensive reinterpretation of the Risāla , in which Shāfiʿī formulated an all-encompassing hermeneutic that portrays the law as a tightly interlocking structure organized around defined interactions of the Qurʾān and the Sunna. Topics covered include Shāfiʿī’s creative account of the law’s architectonics, hermeneutical techniques, legal epistemology, relationship to kalām , and the role of consensus ( ijmāʿ ).Studies in Islamic law and society ;v. 30.Islamic lawInterpretation and constructionEarly works to 1800ShafiitesEarly works to 1800Islamic lawInterpretation and constructionShafiites340.5/9Lowry Joseph E(Joseph Edmund)1609684MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817884703321Early Islamic legal theory3937035UNINA
