| Summary: | With a particular emphasis on definitions, continuities, and change, this edited volume examines the historical role and function of hayā' - or feelings of shame, modesty, and honor - in Islamic theology and law, and explores contemporary Muslims' engagements with the concept. The book explores various conceptions of hayā' and the practices associated with the concept in both Muslim majority and minority contexts.
