Offering a detailed analysis of the structure of authority in Islamic law, this book focuses on the figure of Yahya b. Sharaf alNawawi, who is regarded as the chief contributor to the legal tradition known as the Shafi'i madhhab in traditional Muslim sources, named after Muhammad b. Idris alShafi'i (d. 204/820), the supposed founder of the school of law.AlNawawis legal authority is situated in a context where Muslims demanded to stabilize legal disposition that is consistent with the authority of the madhhab, since in premodern Islamic society, the ruling powers did not produce or promulgate law, as was the case in other, monarchic civilizations. AlNawawis place in the longterm formation of the madhhab is significant for many reasons but for one in particular: his effort in reconciling the two major interpretive communities among the Shafi'ites, i.e., the tariqas of the Iraqians and Khurasanians. This book revisits the history of the Shafi'i school in the preNawawic era and explores its later development in the postNawawic period.Presenting a comprehensive picture of the structure of authority in Islamic law, specifically within the Shafiite legal tradition, this book is an essential resource for students and scholars of Islamic Studies, History and Law.
