The question of marriage and intimate relationships is an important site of internal contestation, as the collection demonstrates. It demands both fidelity to the tradition and its historical modes of thought and relevance to contemporary conditions. The collection of essays that make up the study engages these important and difficult questions from the perspectives of two different types of scholarship: \u003cem\u003efiqh \u003c\/em\u003eand social science. While \u003cem\u003efiqh \u003c\/em\u003epractitioners work with the source texts to derive new interpretations, to authorise rethinking, and thereby to create spaces of possibility for practices to change, social scientists study practices of Islam. The contributors to this volume examine challenges to \u003cem\u003efiqh \u003c\/em\u003eposed by the contemporary by critically analysing the practices and resources available to Muslims in a range of national and historical contexts. These critical approaches will enable a wide readership to understand how Muslims engage with the assumptions and epistemologies that underpin marriage and relationships in contemporary Islamic contexts. \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Katherine Lemons\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e AMI Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/17\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 192\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.99lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.69d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781915550026","brand":"AMI Press","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":42957561397363,"sku":"9.78192E+12","price":41.87,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0555\/9255\/0515\/files\/img_4cbac317-0352-43a5-a920-ef98b139bab0.jpg?v=1743589947","url":"https:\/\/bookstorenmore.com\/products\/islam-and-the-instution-of-marriage-legal-and-sociological-approaches-9781915550026","provider":"Bookstore N More","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
