Outlines of Muslim Personal Law

Islamic Personal Law or Muslim Family Law is considered the most important area of the Shariah as it is the only law that is implemented in Muslim majority countries, whether they are declared Islamic states or are secular. This concise yet comprehensive book covers most of the areas of family law. It covers most of the material contained in earlier manuals, in English, in this field in a more accurate form and also adds many new details derived from the original sources of the Islamic Shariah. The book has been written to serve as a handbook for the student and to provide basic material that is useful for the researcher and the scholar. It is expected that the book will be adopted as a standard text book in courses dealing with the subject.
