Book Description
"Is practicing Islam in the American Diaspora identical to its practice in other countries, or must a new Islamic jurisprudence be developed that takes into account the culture, customs and laws of this country?" This is the central question around which world-renowned Islamic scholar Dr. Azizah al-Hibri bases her analysis of Islamic Jurisprudence. This book revisits traditional Islamic jurisprudence to develop a modern understanding of Islam with respect to gender, marriage, family, and governance.
