Studies in Usul Ul Fiqh By Iyad Hilal

An American Muslim gives concise explanations in English of basic terms of Islamic jurisprudence, discusses the original sources and development of various schools of thought through the centuries, concluding with a discussion of the relevance of such teaching to Muslims living in countries where sharia plays no part in the prevailing civil law. Though written for Muslims, the book will be of interest to others seeking understanding of Islamic law. Includes a helpful twelve page glossary of terms.
