Jahrbuch für Islamische Rechtswissenschaft 2026

At the beginning of this issue stands the question of how Islamic legal norms are formed in the first place: Ahmed Sami presents Arabic as a key to understanding the revealed texts; Şuayip Seven then shows how Ḥanafī jurists interpreted ḥadīth not in isolation, but in interaction with methodological principles. With Sohail Hanif, the practical dimension of law becomes visible: legal stratagems appear as responsible assistance in concrete life situations. Mahmoud Bassiouni examines the relationship between Islam, state and secularism beyond simplistic oppositions. Dina El Omari closes the volume with gender-sensitive readings of inheritance and interreligious marriage, opening the view to current reform debates.
