Prof. Aron Zysow
Kommentar
This course introduces the most important terms and concepts of classical Islamic legal theory (uṣūl al-fiqh) through the reading of several short works in their entirety. Further readings will treat a number of subjects in greater depth. Contemporary academic writings will be assigned to provide necessary background and perspective. The relation between legal theory and other Islamic disciplines including substantive law (furū` al-fiqh), theology (kalām), and grammar (naḥw) will be touched upon.
Prerequisites: No previous study of Islamic law is assumed.
Requirements: In addition to a mid-term examination each student in consultation with the instructor will choose a topic for a research paper of ten to fifteen pages in length and will give a preliminary in-class presentation of their progress on this topic.
