Succession in the Muslim Family
Muslim law and rules for dealing with the distribution of a dead person's property differ greatly from western law. The system of Muslim law, the SharVa, is derived from the Qur'an and the words of the Prophet himself, and is therefore believed to be of divine inspiration, and not man-made. A variety of schools of law have grown up which interpret the Prophet's sayings, and the practical effect of these different rules of interpretation varies co…

The Role of Personal Statutes in Social Development in Islamic Countries
I take it that this title, which was not of my devising, is intended to cover the contribution that the series of partial or comparatively comprehensive codifications of the law of personal status, which have appeared in recent years in one Muslim country after another, has played or might play in the development of social conditions in general, and of family relations in particular, in the area concerned. But I shall confine my remarks in this p…

Islamic Law in the Modern World
Waqfs in East Africa
There can be no doubt that British courts have, in general, built up a most impressive record by, and today enjoy a well-deserved reputation for, their sympathetic and intelligent application of those religious or customary laws, evolved by peoples of a culture and background very different from their own, which they have so often been called upon to administer. But there can be no branch of the law in which Muslim peoples who are subject to the …

The Family Law of Turkish Cypriots
As is well known, the law of Turkey underwent a revolution in the year I926 with the adoption of codes of European origin-virtually lock, stock and barrel-in place of the laws of very heterogeneous background which had previously obtained. This momentous decision involved the most decisive break with the past in the law of personal status and family relations, where the Islamic law of the Hanafi school was replaced, almost overnight, by the Swiss…

For centuries the law has held a paramount place in the civilization and structure of the Muslim world, at least in the Islamic ideal. The prestige it has enjoyed may, indeed, be regarded as without parallel in history, for this civilization was uniquely based on religion, and the religion of Islam has always accorded a pre-eminent place to law.Nor is the reason for this pre-eminence far to seek. In the religion of Islam everything rests on divin…

Homicide in Islamic Law
Perhaps the first point which attracts the attention of the European lawyer who begins to study the treatment of qatl (homicide) in the text-books of Islamic law is that it is there treated, in modern parlance, more as a tort than a crime. To understand the offence properly, however, no such simple classification will suffice: instead, it is essential to view it in its historical setting and detailed development.Under the heading of 'uqūbāt, or p…

Invalid and Void Marriages in Hanafi Law
One of the most bewildering problems in Muslim law concerns the classification and effect of various types of invalid marriage contract. As in a large number of other such problems, moreover, the conflicting views of the leading jurists and their followers, ancient and modern, are by no means confined to disputes between the recognized Sunni schools (the Hanafis, Malikis, Shafi'is and Hanbalis), for within the Hanafi school itself the position is…

A Draft Code of Personal Law for 'Irāq
In 1947 a draft Code of Personal Law was approved by the Committee for Judicial Affairs of the 'Irāqī Chamber of Deputies. In spite, however, of the recommendation of this Committee that it should be enacted by Parliament and promulgated as law, the Code was then shelved-chiefly, no doubt, because of a change of Government and the election of a new Parliament, but partly also on account of the opposition of the more conservative elements in the c…

The Syrian Law of Personal Status
This Law was promulgated under cover of Legislative Decree No. 59 of 17th September, 1953, during the Shishakly regime, and came into force on 1st November of the same year. It thus represents the latest development in the series of reforms in Shari'a law, as applied by the courts, which have appeared, one after the other, in the different countries of the Near East during the last few decades.

Muslim Marriages and The Courts in East Africa
Two recent decisions of the Court of Appeal for Eastern Africa, both concerned with Isma‘ili Khojas, have implications which extend far beyond the Khoja community. Both these cases seem to involve issues of such importance as to merit consideration and discussion in this Journal
Conflict of laws in Northern Nigeria
Two recent judgments in Northern Nigeria have focussed attention on one of the many essential differences between the type of homicide for which the death penalty can properly be imposed under the Islamic law of the Maliki school and the crime of murder under the Criminal Code, and have thrown into bold relief the conflict of opinion which still prevails in that Region regarding the legislation which was intended to resolve some of these differen…
