{"product_id":"foundational-islamic-principles-9781974097715","title":"Foundational Islamic Principles","description":"Ibn Hazm (b. 994 CE, d. 1064 CE) of Cordoba, Spain lived at a time that is often characterised as being the golden age of Islamic civilization in Europe. A true polymath, the breadth of his works and overall contribution to knowledge is quite exceptional.For the first time in English, a complete translation of '\u003ci\u003eMasa'il min al-Usul\u003c\/i\u003e' (issues or questions from \u003ci\u003eUsul\u003c\/i\u003e) is presented, taken from the second book of Ibn Hazm's magnum opus of \u003ci\u003efiqh\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eal-Muhalla bil'Athar\u003c\/i\u003e. Together with the translated text, several explanatory footnotes have been added to provide, where appropriate, additional explanation and references.These key issues of \u003ci\u003eUsul\u003c\/i\u003e are utilised throughout that work and are a feature of Ibn Hazm's unique legal method. Yet many of these foundational principles are significant in themselves, not least because they provide a lucid empowering framework with which to approach many of the intractable debates that currently beset contemporary Islamic discourse.\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Createspace Independent Publishing Platform","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50433856962834,"sku":"9781974097715","price":5.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_af7e5f60-9cd9-40eb-b251-f72e2be7b826.jpg?v=1729587581","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/foundational-islamic-principles-9781974097715","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
