Scott analyzes the complex effects of constitutional commitments to the sharia in the wake of the Egyptian Revolution of 2011. She argues that the sharia is not dismantled by the modern state when it is applied as modern Islamic state law, but rather recast in its service. In showing the particular forms that the sharia takes when it is applied as modern Islamic state law, Scott pushes back against assumptions that introductions of the sharia into modern state law result in either the revival of medieval Islam or in its complete transformation. Scott engages with premodern law and with the Ottoman legal legacy on topics concerning Egypt's Coptic community, women's rights, personal status law, and the relationship between religious scholars and the Supreme Constitutional Court. Recasting Islamic Law considers modern Islamic state law's discontinuities and its continuities with premodern sharia. 606 $aConstitutional law$zEgypt 606 $aConstitutional law (Islamic law)$zEgypt 606 $aIslamic law$zEgypt 606 $aLaw$zEgypt$xIslamic influences 606 $aIslam and state$zEgypt 606 $aRELIGION / Islam / Law$2bisacsh 606 $aReligion$xStudy and teaching 606 $aMiddle East Studies 606 $aLaw$xHistory$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aConstitutional law 615 0$aConstitutional law (Islamic law) 615 0$aIslamic law 615 0$aLaw$xIslamic influences. 615 0$aIslam and state 615 7$aRELIGION / Islam / Law. 615 0$aReligion$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aMiddle East Studies. 615 0$aLaw$xHistory$xStudy and teaching. 676 $a342.62 700 $aScott$b Rachel M$0845352 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910524667503321 996 $aRecasting Islamic Law$91886611 997 $aUNINA
