This book decenters Sunni and Mamluk and Ottoman normativity by investigating the practice of shar??a in a Twelver Shi?i Persian-speaking milieu, in early modern Iran between the sixteenth to twentieth centuries. Drawing on documentary evidence and narrative sources, it reconstructs who the practitioners of Islamic law were, how they authenticated, annulled, and archived legal documents, and how they intervened in the resolution of disputes over religious endowments (waqf). The study demonstrates that following Iran's conversion to Twelver Shi?ism under the Safavids, the dominance of U??l? Shi?i legal theory, which conferred judicial authority on scholars recognized as Shi?i jurists (mujathids), affected both the practitioners of Islamic law and the procedures of shar??a court practice in Iran. Shi?i jurists in Iran, as a result, would come to exercise by the end of the nineteenth century a judicial monopoly over valid shar??a court practice thus laying the foundation for Ayatollah Khomeini's extension, during the Iranian revolution, of the authority of the Shi?i jurist over political affairs. 410 0$aStudies in the History and Culture of the Middle East Series 606 $aLAW / Islamic$2bisacsh 610 $aAfghan. 610 $aAfshar. 610 $aIran. 610 $aIslamic law. 610 $aQajar periods. 610 $aSafavid. 610 $aSharia. 610 $aZand. 615 7$aLAW / Islamic. 676 $a340.5909550903 700 $aBhalloo$b Zahir$01434632 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910838189003321 997 $aUNINA
