Beskrivning
Islamic foundations (waqf, pl. awqāf) have been an integral part of Yemeni society both for managing private wealth and as a legal frame for charity and public infrastructure. This book focuses on four socially grounded fields of legal knowledge: fiqh, codification, individual waqf cases, and everyday waqf-related knowledge. It combines textual analysis with ethnography and seeks to understand how Islamic law is approached, used, produced, and validated in selected topics of waqf law where there are tensions between ideals and pragmatic rules. The study analyses central Zaydī fiqh works such as the Sharḥ al-azhār cluster, imamic decrees, fatwās, and waqf documents, mostly from Zaydī, northern Yemen.For the Arabic edition, please see here.

'... a rewarding and thought-provoking read. Beyond its great benefit to readers from different academic fields, such as Middle Eastern and Islamic studies, Yemeni studies, legal and fiqh studies, Zaydī and Shii studies, and anthropology, and its engagement with the topic of religious endowments, Islamic or otherwise, it provides a wealth of background information for the development and water supply sectors."Kerstin Hünefeld in Shii Studies Review 7.1-2 (Online Publication Date: 14 Nov 2023)DOI: https://doi.org/10.1163/24682470-12340095
