International Conference:Rethinking classical Islamic law: can fiqh be applied law? 13-15 November 2013

Centre Jacques Berque (CJB), Rabat/Morocco

Over the last four years, the ERC financed project ILM (Islamic Law Materialized: Arabic Legal Documents (8th to 15th centuries)) has constituted a corpus of 2000 legal documents with more than 50 000 textual entities. It analyses the intimate relationship between these relics of pre-modern legal practice and the juridical scholarship (fiqh) of their time. This analysis, to be presented in the conference, provides evidence that the “theoretical concepts” of fiqh were essential to, and provided juridical coherence for, notarial and judicial practices as reflected in legal documents.

4th atelier ILM : homicide and injury cases from the Ḥaram collection

Law on tort and homicide cases was – and still widely is – considered as a theoretical aspect within Islamic law. Close analysis however shows how legal norms on blood-money determined the way Mamluk notaries issued legal documents in the field of homicide and injury cases.
In this atelier, we discuss some specimen from the Ḥaram al-Šarīf collection in order to analyze documents on subjective rights of victims and on the role of Mamluk authorities in crime-investigation.
