A Christian Shīʿī, and Other Curious Confreres: Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr of Córdoba on Getting Along with Unbelievers

How did medieval Muslims think that they, as Muslims, ought to conduct their social interactions with non-Muslims? Modern scholars have usually sought answers to this normative question in Islamic legal sources. Yet premodern Muslim authorities also treated it in genres other than those that are usually considered part of “Islamic law”.

Custom as a Legal Principle of Legislation for Shi’i Law

Cet article soutient que le principe de lacune ( lacuna) dans le droit shi’ite peut donner aux juristes la possibilité de dépasser les paramètres traditionnels de la shari’a. Ce principe autorise les juristes à aller au-delà de la loi islamique dans la mesure où ils seraient confrontés à un problème légal qui n’aurait pas été textuellement interdit par les sources écrites.
