Where does God's law come from? How are God's rules to be discovered for situations not covered in the revealed sources? Who, within the Muslim community, can make a valid pronouncement on the content of the shar??a? The answers to these questions have been debated and discussed by Muslim scholars in the genre of literature called u??l al-fiqh, glossed in English language secondary literature as Islamic legal theory". This volume contains editions and commentaries of hitherto un-edited manuscripts from the various strands of the Shi?ite tradition of Islamic thought (Zaydi, Isma?ili and Twelver). A careful side-by-side reading of these texts and commentaries will help identify themes peculiar to the Shi?ite "family" of legal theories. The distinctive Shi?ite contribution to the history of u??l al-fiqh has not received the attention it deserves in contemporary scholarship; this volume forms part of wider attempt to bring the richness and diversity of Shi?ite u??l to the wider field." 606 $aIslamic law$vSources 606 $aIslamic law$xInterpretation and construction 606 $aShiites 606 $aHISTORY / Middle East / Arabian Peninsula$2bisacsh 615 0$aIslamic law 615 0$aIslamic law$xInterpretation and construction. 615 0$aShiites. 615 7$aHISTORY / Middle East / Arabian Peninsula. 676 $a340.5/9 702 $aGleave$b Robert, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 702 $aRajani$b Kumail, $4edt$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edt 801 0$bDE-B1597 801 1$bDE-B1597 906 $aBOOK 912 $a996543165103316 996 $aShi?ite Legal Theory$93420229 997 $aUNISA
