Ibāḍī Maritime Law in the Indian Ocean: Transport, Trade and Taxes in the 2nd-3rd/8th-9th Centuries

Despite the exposure of Oman and its scholars to the sea and related legal cases, maritime law in the Ibāḍī fiqh encyclopedias is a neglecte…

Attempting to analyze the causes of this phenomenon, the author describes the decontextualization of Islamic concepts from a background of secularized medical care and the ethics in the Islamic world—as well as the estrangement due to these questions of Islamic…
