The (Im)Possibility of Persistence? – Najm al-Dīn al-Ṭūfī’s (d. 716/1316) Atomistic Argumentation for the Probative Value of istiṣḥāb al-ḥāl
Istiṣḥāb al-ḥāl , the presumption of the persistence of a state or ruling, is a disputed source within Islamic jurisprudence. For some scholars, it is one of the main sources of Islamic law. Many juristic principles are based on istiṣḥāb . The Hanbali scholar al-Ṭūfī (d. 716/1316) follows this idea in Sharḥ Mukhtaṣar al-Rawḍa and holds that istiṣḥāb is the fourth source of law after the Quran, Sunna, and Consensus. Al-Ṭūfī argues for the validity…
The Search for Originality within Established Boundaries—Rereading Najm al-Dīn al-Ṭūfī (d. 716/1316) on Public Interest (maṣlaḥa) and the Purpose of the Law
With the arrival of the twentieth century, in their legal theory, Muslim scholars began emphasizing public interest (maṣlaḥa) and the objectives (maqāṣid) of the Sharia. This stood often in contrast to the standards of traditional legal theory. To overcome this gap, scholars searched for concepts of premodern scholars, interpreted them in a way that allowed focusing on abstract categories like maṣlaḥa. An often-quoted figure in this regard is Naj…

Ibn Rushd’s Legal Hermeneutics and Moral Theory for a ‘living Sharīʿa’—an Alternative Approach to Islamic Law in Ibn Rushd’s Bidāyat al-mujtahid1
According to the Sunnī legal tradition, legal norms should be derived from the authoritative texts of the Qurʾān and Sunna. However, how exactly to derive such norms remains unclear, when no reference can be found to the matter at hand within these sources. The use of maqāṣid at this point might be a viable solution. Little attention, however, is paid to alternative approaches like the one of Ibn Rushd al-Ḥafīd (d 595/1198), which is based on phi…
Who is the Lawgiver? The Hermeneutical Grounds of the Methods of Interpreting Qur’an and Sunna (istinbāṭ al-aḥkām)
Since the very beginning of Islamic Law there was a need to solve legal problems in accordance with Qur’an and Sunna. Thus, one of the most important methodological problems was to discover the meanings of the authoritative texts (nuṣūṣ), Qur’an and the prophetic Sunna, for deriving rules from them. We can see in the uṣūl al-fiqh literature that the scope of research concerning the language and its role in the process of interpretation is apparen…
Ehe in Islam und Christentum
Christliche und muslimische Theologinnen und Theologen diskutieren das Zusammenleben im Kontext der pluralen Gesellschaft. Dabei geht es insbesondere um den Wert, den die jeweiligen Glaubensgemeinschaften der Ehe beimessen, und darum, ob Ehe über Religionsgrenzen hinweg erwünscht ist. Sowohl im Christentum als auch im Islam wird die Ehe als Lebensform wertgeschätzt. Doch abseits dieser grundlegenden Übereinstimmung unterscheiden sich nicht nur mu…
