Ibn Taymiyya and his Circle on samāʿ
By examining polemical treatises on Sufi samāʿ or ‘spiritual audition’, written by scholars with a Ḥanbalī or traditionalist orientation, we assess the strategies and rhetorical devices that they used to discuss the status of samāʿ within their tradition.

Is the interpretation of informalisation still adequate? To …
