It also explains Salafi tools of methodological reasoning: traditionally used to justify highly conservative positions, they now appear equally effective in defending more liberal life choices. The collection will help readers to appreciate the diversity of Salafi movements, as well as the significance of the ongoing socio-economic and political changes within Saudi Arabia and the wider Muslim world that are enabling shifts to this conservative Islamic scholarly tradition.Starting in late 2017, Saudi Arabia embarked on a series of reforms reversing many socially restrictive policies long associated with Salafism. These developments have triggered critical questions about the future of Salafism, crucially: is this the end for the most influential puritanical Islamic reform movement of the 20th century?Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 234mmItem Length: 156mmContributor: Masooda Bano (Edited by)Genre: HistoryTopic: Law & Politics, Philosophy & SpiritualityBook Series: Edinburgh Studies of the Globalised Muslim WorldAuthor: No AuthorRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
