It looks at the concept of maṣlaḥa (people’s well-being) as a method of extending and adapting God’s law, showing how it evolves from an obscure legal principle to being interpreted as the all-encompassing purpose of God’s law. Discussions on maṣlaḥa’s epistemology, its role in the law-finding process, the limits of human investigation into divinecommands, and the delineation of the sphere of religious law in Muslim society highlight the interplay between law, theology, logic, and politics that make maṣlaḥa a viable vehicle of legal change up to the present.Studies in Islamic law and society ;v31.Istiṣlāḥ (Islamic law)Common goodHistoryPublic interest lawHistoryIslamic lawInterpretation and constructionHistoryIstiṣlāḥ (Islamic law)Common goodHistory.Public interest lawHistory.Islamic lawInterpretation and constructionHistory.340.5/9Opwis Felicitas Meta Maria1609260MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910826829303321Maṣlaḥa and the purpose of the law3936414UNINA
