(d. 370/980) to al-Sh??ib? (d. 790/1388), this study traces the Islamic discourse on legal change. It looks at the concept of ma?la?a (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 ma?la?a?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 ma?la?a a viable vehicle of legal change up to the present. 410 0$aStudies in Islamic law and society ;$vv31. 606 $aIstis?la?h?
