Full Description
Islamic law never achieved unity but developed into five surviving schools, which, when first established, were in competition with one another. This scholarly book is the first to examine critically the differing Islamic theories of abrogation (or Naskh) upon which each school based its claim to be the correct interpretation.
Contents
The sources of Islamic Law; the theories of naskh; the special theories of naskh; the first mode of naskh; the second mode of naskh; the alleged qur'anic basis of naskh; the third mode of naskh; the qur'an's doctrine on naskh; internal naskh.
