LexIslamica Series - Book 3 - Defending the Frontiers of the Ḥanafī School - Paperback

by M. Ibrahim Abdullah Khan Nyazee (Author), Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee (Author)

This book has been written with the realization that more information is required on the strengths of the Ḥanafī School before presenting "The New Methodology." The book, therefore, addresses the major contributions of the School, and those features that have been under attack by other schools in the previous centuries, along with those criticisms that are more recent. As the defensive aspect of the book gained prominence in the writing, it was thought appropriate to name it as "Defending the Frontiers of the Ḥanafī School." This, then, will be the third book in the series.The present Lex Islamica series is on Islamic Jurisprudence or uṣūl al-fiqh, including legal maxims or qawā'id fiqhiyyah. The focus is on the Ḥanafī School so as to keep matters clear and crisp and avoid confusions that sometimes result from comparative studies. The positions taken by the other Sunni Schools will be easily identified once the Ḥanafī position has been ascertained. The remaining titles in this series are the following: - The Ḥanafī Methodology of Uṣūl al-Fiqh: Old and New- The Ḥanafī Qawā'id and Qawānīn Uṣūliyyah- Ḥanafī Qawā'id Fiqhiyyah
