Shari'a and Muslim Minorities: The wasati and salafi approaches to fiqh al-aqall

Description: Shari'a and Muslim Minorities by Uriya Shavit Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Hardcover Condition Brand New Description Based on analysis of hundreds of fatwas and juristic treatises, this book uncovers the internal debates within minority communities on issues including integration, political participation, leisure, finances, and attitudes toward non-Muslims. Publisher Description Based on a comparative analysis of several hundred religio-juristic treatises and fatwas (religious decisions), Sharia and Muslim Minorities: The Wasati and Salafi Approaches to Fiqh al-Aqalliyyat al-Muslima offers the most systematic and comprehensive study to date of fiqh al aqalliyyat al-Muslima - the field in Islamic jurisprudence that treats issues that are unique to Muslims living in majority non-Muslim societies. The book argues that twomain contesting approaches to fiqh al-aqalliyyat al-Muslima, the wasati and the salafi, have developed, in part dialectically. While both envision a future Islamizing of the West as a main justification for Muslimresidence in the West, the wasati approach is pragmatic, facilitating, and integration-minded, whereas the salafi calls for strict application of religious norms and for introversion. The volume examines diverse and highly-debated juristic issues, including the permissibility of naturalizing in non-Muslim states, participating in their electoral systems and serving in their militaries and police forces; the permissibility of taking mortgages and student loans; thepermissibility of congratulating Christians on Christmas or receiving Christmas bonuses; and the permissibility of working in professions that involve breaching of religio-legal prohibitions (e.g. servingpork). Discussions highlight the diversity within contemporary Islamic jurisprudence and introduce new nuances to highly-charged concepts such as proselytizing, integration, and multiculturalism.
