This book studies the legal reasoning of Malik ibn Anas (d. 179 H./795 C.E.) in the Muwa??a' and Mudawwana. Although focusing on Malik, the book presents a broad comparative study of legal reasoning in the first three centuries of Islam. It reexamines the role of considered opinion (ra'y), dissent, and legal ?adiths and challenges the paradigm that Muslim jurists ultimately concurred on a "four-source" (Qur?an, sunna, consensus, and analogy) theory of law. Instead, Malik and Medina emphasizes that the four Sunni schools of law (madhahib) emerged during the formative period as distinctive, consistent, yet largely unspoken legal methodologies and persistently maintained their independence and continuity over the next millennium.
Rezensionen / Stimmen
"...an enormously important study of early Islamic law that does for the Maliki school what has not been achieved for any of the other schools, namely, providing a systematic analysis of its foundational texts of positive law." - Ahmed El Shamsy, in: Ilahiyat Studies 5/1 (2014), pp. 126-131.
"Malik and Medina demonstrates the profound value of reading classical works of Islamic law thoroughly and paying close attention to their authors' technical terms. No contemporary reading of the Muwa??a in Western scholarship comes close to what Wymann-Landgraf has accomplished. The author is to be praised for publishing his ground-breaking research, which also engages in secondary literatures in German, English, and Italian..." - Scott C. Lucas, University of Arizona, Tucson, in: Journal of the American Oriental Society 137/3 (2017)
