Description

This scholarly work provides a comprehensive examination of how authority functioned within Islamic law during the premodern period, with particular attention to Yahya B Sharaf Al-Nawawi's pivotal role in shaping the Shafi'i legal tradition. Al-Nawawi, recognised as a chief contributor to the Shafi'i madhhab named after Muhammad b. Idris al-Shafi'i, operated within a distinctive legal environment where Muslim communities sought to establish consistent legal practices aligned with madhhab authority. The book explores how legal authority developed when premodern Islamic societies relied on established schools of law rather than centralised state-produced legislation. Through detailed analysis of al-Nawawi's contributions and the structural foundations of Islamic jurisprudence, this volume illuminates the mechanisms through which legal traditions maintained coherence and legitimacy across generations. Published by Routledge as part of the Culture and Civilisation in the Middle East series, it offers valuable insights for scholars of Islamic law, medieval history, and comparative legal systems.
