One of the most misunderstood aspects of Islamic legal practice and thought is the role and position of fatwas or legal opinions. This three-volume reference work offers a comprehensive overview of and detailed insights into: -the concept of the fatwa as a vehicle of legal opinion-making in Islam -its historical role in different parts of the Muslim world -and contemporary debates reflecting both the fatwa's enduring relevance and its ongoing contestation among Muslims today.
