The Evolution of Fiqh

In the Evolution of Fiqh, the author very clearly presents a brief overview of the historical development of Islamic law and its schools (the Madh-habs). The book identifies the main reason for the appearance of the Madh-habs and the factors leading to differences among them.For those to whom the Madh-habs have been a mystery, this aspect of the book will be extremely enlightening. Although the authors sheds light on both the positive and negative roles of the Madh-habs in the past, the main message of the book is call to the understanding of legistic differences (with an aim to remove the where possible), and a proposal for the unification of the Madh-habs.Dr. Abu Ameenah Bilal Philips162pgs
