Ul al-fiqh Islamic legal theory is the discipline through which Muslim scholars determined how divine revelation becomes binding law. Opening with a substantial English-language introduction to the discipline and its major schools, this anthology gathers Arabic primary-source excerpts from seven legal-theological traditions (anaf, Mlik, Shfi, anbal, Imm, Zayd and Ib), spanning the eighth to the twenty-first centuries. Rather than ordering texts by school or chronology, it arranges them across ten themes. In doing so, this book reveals the ul al-fiqh discipline as a trans-madhhab discourse with shared questions and competing answers.

Drawing on foundational works of legal theory from al-Shfis al-Risla through to modern Najaf seminary manuals, this volume makes visible a shared analytical discourse that is obscured through a school-based or chronological lens.
