Islam and Sufism

An Introduction to Islamic Law

by Joseph Schacht

A classic survey of the history and doctrines of Islamic jurisprudence, from its origins to the modern codifications, followed by a systematic outline of its rules. Schacht's sceptical views on the early history of legal hadith have been much debated but the work remains a landmark.
