The Codification Episteme in Islamic Juristic Discourse between Inertia and Change
Many historians view Islamic law as an organic and methodologically coherent system in which there is a systematic link between legal methodology (uṣūl) and substantive law (furūʿ). In this essay, I will argue against the conventional view, drawing support from the evolutionary trajectories of four...

520 | |a Many historians view Islamic law as an organic and methodologically coherent system in which there is a systematic link between legal methodology (uṣūl) and substantive law (furūʿ). In this essay, I will argue against the conventional view, drawing support from the evolutionary trajectories of four genres of juridical writing: abridged legal compendia (mukhtaṣars); juristic disagreement (ikhtilāf); the commentary/supercommentary (sharḥ/ḥāshiya); and legal responsa (fatāwā) genres. The post-thirteenth century evolution of these genres reveals a pronounced tendency to marginalize the relationship between legal methodology and substantive law, privileging a codification ethos. Judges and low-ranking jurisconsults were expected to “apply” legal rules and frequently abandoned legal methodology as an avenue for legal change in favor of pragmatic school boundary-crossing. In doing so, they were less concerned with intra-school methodological coherence than with pursuing juristic flexibility by focusing on the content of the law rather than its process. | ||
