An intermediate study of Islamic law through the Ḥanbalī school of jurisprudence. The course will cover both substantive law (fiqh), as well as its legal theory (uṣūl al-fiqh). A comprehensive reading of the former will detail both chapters pertaining to ritual acts of worship (‘ibādāt), as well as interpersonal dealings (mu‘āmalāt), including sales and transactions, family law, governance, and more. The latter will detail methods of understanding the legal mechanisms and devices of divine law (sharī‘a), methods of extracting proofs from them, and discussions pertaining to the nature of the jurists and jurisprudence (ijtihād) as a whole.
