Philosophical Encyclopedia in a Mystical Fatwā
Cairene Sufis ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Šaʿrānī (d. 973/1565) and his master ʿAlī l-Ḫawwāṣ (d. 939/1532) formulated an original mystical-legal theory that linked the existence of the religious obligation ( taklīf) as well as the origins of Islamic law to the myth of Adam’s Fall. Expressed in the form of a fatwā , the theory synthesized numerous Islamic legal, theological, and Sufi sources, including the Epistles of the Brethren of Purity ( Rasāʾil Iḫwān …

Ibn Taymiyya dep…

Yet, at the same time, the government insists that it does not interfere into theological issues a…
