NEW & CURRENT ITEMS By Dr. Liyakat Takim
“Shi'i Revisited: Ijtihad and Reformation in Contemporary Times” assesses the possibility of an Islamic reformation in contemporary Shi’ism. It also examines the process and methods of ijtihad in deriving a fatwa, the moral basis of Islamic law, and proposes epistemological and methodological changes so as to make Islamic law more moral and viable for contemporary times. A must read for anyone interested in Islamic law in modern times.
The book will be published by Oxford University Press in January 2022
