  • Summary

    This chapter explores the Saudi judge and legal scholar Ibn Khunyan’s (b. 1376/1956) al-Kāshif fī Sharḥ Niẓām al-Murāfaʿāt al-Sharʿiyya al-Saʿūdī. This work focuses on the Saudi Code of Sharīʿa Procedure and follows the format of a European-style legal commentary, commenting on all 276 articles of the Code with reference to Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). The section excerpted here discusses the first article of the Code of Sharīʿa Procedure (niẓām al-murāfaʿāt al-sharʿiyya), which stipulates the sources of the law applicable in Saudi courts. In addition to his explanation, Ibn Khunayn uses the commentary on the first article of the code as an opportunity to give an overview over the workings of the Saudi judiciary.
