Summary
This introduction to Section 6 of the volume on alternative sources for the study of Islamic law explores how the subject can be approached through material that is not strictly legally-focused, including such diverse genres as biographical dictionaries, licenses to teach and issue legal verdicts (pl. ijāzāt) speeches, pamphlets and novels, as well as including a representative bibliography of recent scholarship on the subject.
