About This Book

Islamic Law: Understanding Juristic Differences offers a clear and insightful exploration of why Muslim scholars may differ in their legal opinions while remaining rooted in the same Qur’an and Sunnah. This book delves into the principles of Islamic jurisprudence (Usul al-Fiqh), helping readers understand the reasons behind differing fatwas and schools of thought (madhahib) within Islam. By shedding light on key concepts like ijtihad, qiyas, and the use of context and evidence, the author promotes tolerance, unity, and deeper respect for scholarly diversity in Islamic tradition. Ideal for students of Islamic studies, educators, and anyone seeking clarity on the foundations of Islamic legal thought.
