Bøger i Library of Islamic Law serien

The book offers an invaluable resource to academics and researchers with a specific interest in Islamic law, to postgraduate students and final year students of law, and to scholars whose main focus is Anglo-American contract law but who are interested in comparative law/theory.

Addresses the issue of truth in law, within the context of Muslim societies. The truth, in legal terms, is the version of 'what happened', which carries most authority. This book looks at how this narrative is constructed in Muslim societies, and which truths are privileged over others in constructing it.
