Wael Hallaq’s Rejoinder to Shaykh Nadwi’s Review of Origins and Evolution of Islamic Law
The author of the book Origins and Evolution of Islamic Law, Dr. Wael Hallaq, responded to Dr. Nadwi's critical review of his book (that was posted earlier on this site). We have attached the rejoinder that JIS made an exception to publish, in the words of Ml. Nadwi, bowing down to the pressure from certainContinue reading "Wael Hallaq’s Rejoinder to Shaykh Nadwi’s Review of Origins and Evolution of Islamic Law"
Kashf al-Niqab ‘amma fi Kalimat Abi Ghudda min al-Abatil wa ‘l-Iftira’at by Shaykh Nasir al-Din al-Albani
Since we have been posting material about the contention that existed between the two great hadith scholars of the past century, Shaykh 'Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah and Shaykh Nasir al-Din al-Albani, and the rebuttal of Shaykh Abu Ghuddah was just posted recently, I thought it only fair to upload Shaykh Albani's response as well. Admittedly,Continue reading "Kashf al-Niqab ‘amma fi Kalimat Abi Ghudda min al-Abatil wa ‘l-Iftira’at by Shaykh Nasir al-Din al-Albani"
Kalimat fi Kashf Abatil wa Iftira’at by Shaykh ‘Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah
In a previous post, we uploaded the book Jawab al-Hafiz Mundhiri and claimed that the small risalah, Kalimat fi Kashf Abatil wa Iftira'at was appendixed to the end of it. It turns out that although the uploaded edition of the book includes the appendix, the pdf version excluded it. I have therefore uploaded the treatiseContinue reading "Kalimat fi Kashf Abatil wa Iftira’at by Shaykh ‘Abd al-Fattah Abu Ghuddah"
Origins and Evolution of Islamic Law by Wael Hallaq: Book Review by Shaykh Akram Nadwi
Ever since Wael Hallaq's Origins and Evolution of Islamic Law was published, a large number of academic reviews were written on the book, none more thorough and critical than the damaging review of Shaykh Mohammad Akram Nadwi of the Oxford Centre for Islamic Studies. I believe, in fact, that it is his review that influencedContinue reading "Origins and Evolution of Islamic Law by Wael Hallaq: Book Review by Shaykh Akram Nadwi"
Kutub Hadhdhara Minha ‘l-‘Ulama’ by Mashhur Hasan Aal Salman
For people interested in the topic of false attribution of books to authors as well as other books that one should stay away from, Kutun Hadhdhara minha 'l-'Ulama' is a very beneficial resource. However, the book is full of many unnecessary attacks on Sunni 'ulama and should be read with caution. In the book isContinue reading "Kutub Hadhdhara Minha ‘l-‘Ulama’ by Mashhur Hasan Aal Salman"
