SUMMARY, ETC.
Summary, etc. Weiss (Arabic and Islamic studies, U. of Utah-Salt Lake City) focuses on usul al-fiqh, the science concerned with the theoretical and methodological foundations of the law, rather than with the articulation of actual laws. He outlines the prominent features of Muslim juristic thought, such as divine sovereignty and texts, an intentionalist approach to interpretation, an acknowledgment of the fallibility of humans to divine intent, toleration of legal diversity, and a preoccupation with the affairs of private individuals.
