Drawing on original fieldwork, including in Mindanao, this comprehensive book covers a wide range of topics, including Islamic leadership and authority (mufti, darul ifta, and fatawa); Islamic judges and dispute resolution in Islamic courts, and alternative forms of dispute resolution; legislative codification of Islamic law especially in private law (marriage and divorce); Islamic banking and finance; and madrasahs and Islamic education. The book also offers a comprehensive, detailed, and timely socio-legal analysis of controversies relating to Islam and the long-running conflict in the Southern Philippines as Moro communities struggle with the challenges of transition to the long-awaited Bangsamoro Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. This is contextualised against the wider history and politics of the southern Philippines, from pre-colonial times to 2024. The authors offer a detailed and nuanced analysis based on primary documents, as well as an account of the existing literature in the field.
The book greatly enhances understandings of the social, political, and historical context of current developments in Islam in the Philippines. It will be of interest to researchers studying Islam and the administration of Islamic law, Malay Muslim communities in Southeast Asia, and the history and politics of the Philippines.
Reviews / Votes
"This book is a unique and important book that is likely to quickly become the main reference point on law, Islam, and the state in the Philippines. It fills an important gap and will probably find its most receptive audience amongst those interested primarily in political science and law. It will also appeal to those working on Islamic law, comparativists and those interested in regional studies."Simon Butt, The University of Sydney, Australia
"This new book is superbly well presented. It will redefine and redirect the study of Islam and Islamic law in the Philippines and is likely to become the standard reference on the topic. Situated at the interface of Islamic studies, Islamic legal studies, political science, sociology and anthropology, it is a much needed reference for scholars of Islam and Islamic law in Asia and the broader Muslim world."
Robert W. Hefner, Boston University, USA
