Abstract:

This workshop seeks to address the transformation of fiqh, or Islamic jurisprudence, in the Ottoman empire and the subsequent independent states. It aims to show the dynamic nature of fiqh and its transformations through time by focusing on the jurisprudence regarding non-Muslims, foreigners, or the interaction between religious groups. By analyzing the evolution of fiqh in relation to questions of property ownership, taxation, conversion, political participation and personal law, this workshop will point to the political, economic and social uses of Islamic jurisprudence. It will also consider legal pluralism and the interaction between, for instance, fiqh, qāanūun and civil law. It will analyse legal discourses produced by religious scholars, both within the state and on its margins, and the practical applications of Islamic jurisprudence to specific cases concerning non-Muslims. Finally, this workshop will explore the imperial legacies in terms of personal status law in the independent states after the fall of the empire.
