Mansour Z. al-Mutairi V ABSTRACT This study aims at exploring thewidely applied principle of necessity ( darnrah ) in Islamic law. Its main focus is to examine the legal definition and limitations of necessity. It has been divided into five chapters, an introduction and a conclusion. In the first chapter, special attention has been given to the definition of necessity in Islamic classical and modern jurisprudence. Since the maxims of necessity are an essential element of this topic, these have been explored in the secondchapter. The causes of the state of necessity are dealt with in the third chapter. In this regard, compulsion, legitimate defence, illness, change in circumstances have been discussed insofar as they related to necessity. To give an accurate idea of the limitation of this principle, the conditions of necessity are the main concern of the fourth chapter. In the fifth chapter, the discussion is concerned with the relation between necessity and other Islamic legal concepts particularly those concepts which are regarded as sources of law. The link between public interest ( asmlahah iursalah blocking the ( istihsdn , means sadd al-dharä'i') , and concession ( Inkhsah ), and necessityon the other hand was found to be strong. The conclusion, finally, summarizes the discussion previously made and presents the findings of this study. Ni ACKNOWLEDGMENT First of all, all the praise is due to Allah the Creator and the Sustainer of all mankind and all that exists. May the peace and blessing of Allah be upon his Messenger, Muhammad and all the Messengers before him who have guided mankind to the straight path. Secondly, My genuine, deep thanks and respect go to my supervisor Dr. I. K. A. Howard whose guidance and kindness have contributed enormously in bringing this study to the light and affected me personally in many ways. I will not and could not forget my parents whose support and patience have greatly touched my life in general. My thanks to them is unlimited but it is not sufficient. I ask Allah sincerely to give me the opportunity to reward them in their lives. I am indebted also to many people whose help and cooperation deserve to be mentioned here: * The staff of the Department of Islamic and Middle Eastern studies. * Dr. Michael V Macdonald. * Dr. John Burton. * Dr. Yaseen Dutton. My thanks goes also to Miss Crawford the former secretary of the Department. And to the present secretary Miss Lesley Scobie for their efforts and help. I would like also to thank the staff of the Department of Inter-Library loan for their constructive work and help. My thanks also extend to Mr. 'Abd al-Rahmän al-Luwayhq from the Islamic university of Imäm Muhammad b. Su'üd for his valuable assistance. My deep thank and appreciation go to my wife whose help, patience and support to me and to our children cannot be expressed in words. She alone take the credit of creating a happy and stable family life away from home. Last but not least, I would like to express my gratitude to King Khalid Academy in general and to the Department of Humanities in particular for giving me the opportunity and scholarship to accomplish my studies.

WARREN * "Treat your women well and be kind to them for they are your partners and committed helpers." From the Farewell Address of the Holy Prophet Muhammad1 I. INTRODUCTION By the end of February 632 and at the age of sixty-three, the Prophet Muhammad believed that his days on earth were coming to an end.2 He announced to his followers that he would lead the hajj, the annual pilgrimage to Mecca, himself that year.3 On March 3, the Prophet delivered his farewell sermon near Mount Arafat.4 Among the limited number of topics he chose to include in his last public speech, he encouraged his followers to deal justly with one another and treat women well. 5 In the modem era, the rights of women under Islamic law have come under heightened scrutiny. Some commentators find the Prophet's farewell speech to be inconsistent with the way women are treated in some areas of the Muslim world. In Saudi Arabia, for example, women may neither drive nor vote.

  • The Reopening of the Islamic Code Introduction
    The Reopening of the Islamic Code The Second Era of Ijtihad Ali Khan1 It is God who has appointed for you the stars, that by them you may guide yourself in the darkness of land and sea.2 Introduction For more than a hundred years now, an accord has gradually emerged among Muslim scholars that Islamic classical jurisprudence (fiqh) must be reformulated to meet the needs of Muslim communities. Non-Muslim commentators are even more vocal in criticizing classical fiqh. Some identify classical fiqh with fundamentalism that, they argue, spawns poverty, gender oppression, violence, ignorance, cultural segregation, intolerance, and unaccountable political structures.3 Some provide empirical analysis to argue that the notions of democracy, rights and tolerance derived from Islamic principles are deceptive.4 Included in this analysis is the intimation that Islam be reduced to private faith, as has been Christianity, so that Islam no longer shapes social, economic, political and legal discourses.5 Even some Muslims argue that classical fiqh permits 1Professor of Law, Washburn University.

  • The Layha for the Mujahideen: an Analysis of the Code of Conduct for the Taliban Fighters Under Islamic Law
    Volume 93 Number 881 March 2011 The Layha for the Mujahideen:an analysis of the code of conduct for the Taliban fighters under Islamic law Muhammad Munir* Dr.Muhammad Munir is Associate Professor and Chairman,Department of Law, Faculty of Shari‘a and Law, International Islamic University, Islamabad. Abstract The following article focuses on the Islamic Emirate of Afghanistan Rules for the Mujahideen** to determine their conformity with the Islamic jus in bello. This code of conduct, or Layha, for Taliban fighters highlights limiting suicide attacks, avoiding civilian casualties, and winning the battle for the hearts and minds of the local civilian population. However, it has altered rules or created new ones for punishing captives that have not previously been used in Islamic military and legal history. Other rules disregard the principle of distinction between combatants and civilians and even allow perfidy, which is strictly prohibited in both Islamic law and international humanitarian law. The author argues that many of the Taliban rules have only a limited basis in, or are wrongly attributed to, Islamic law. * The help of Andrew Bartles-Smith, Prof. Brady Coleman, Major Nasir Jalil (retired), Ahmad Khalid, and Dr. Marty Khan is acknowledged. The quotations from the Qur’an in this work are taken, unless otherwise indicated, from the English translation by Muhammad Asad, The Message of the Qur’an, Dar Al-Andalus, Redwood Books, Trowbridge, Wiltshire, 1984, reprinted 1997. ** The full text of the Layha is reproduced as an annex at the end of this article. doi:10.1017/S1816383111000075 81 M. Munir – The Layha for the Mujahideen: an analysis of the code of conduct for the Taliban fighters under Islamic law Do the Taliban qualify as a ‘non-state armed group’? Since this article deals with the Layha,1 it is important to know whether the Taliban in Afghanistan, as a fighting group, qualify as a ‘non-state Islamic actor’.

  • The Iqta' System of Iraq Under the Buwayhids Tsugitaka Sato
    THE IQTA' SYSTEM OF IRAQ UNDER THE BUWAYHIDS TSUGITAKA SATO* In 334 A. H. (946 A.D.), having established his authority in Baghdad, Mu'izz al-Dawla granted iqta's in the Sawad to his commanders, his asso- ciates, and his Turks. This is the formation of the so-called "military" iqta' system in the Islamic history. The appearance of the military iqta's brought about not only the evolution of the Islamic state, but also the transformation of the Iraqi society during the 10-11th centuries and of the other countries in the following periods. Nizam al-Mulk understood this as the change from bistagan (cash pay) to iqta',(1) while al-Maqrizi described as the change from 'ata' to iqta' in the same meaning.(2) As for the iqta' system under the Buwayhids, H. F. Amedroz first translated the Miskawayh's text into English with annotations,(3) and then C. H. Becker tried to realize the iqta' system in the history of 'Lehen' from the early Islamic period to the Ottoman Turks.(4) A. A, al-Duri, who studied the economic history of the Buwayhid Iraq, made clear the character of iqta' comparing it with milk (private land) and waqf, though the reality of iqta' holding remained to be investigated in future.(5) On the other hand, Cl. Cahen published the general survey of iqta' in the history of the Islamic land holding, which gave us usefull informations concerning the right and obligation of soldiers, and the fall of peasants by way of himaya (protection) and the loan at high interest.(6) We also find the general description of iqta' in the study of H.

  • The Unique Ibn Al-Bawwab Manuscript
    D.S.RICE THE UNIQUE IBN AL-BAWWAB MANUSCRIPT The text of the Qur'an was recorded'in the Prophet's lifetime, on a variety of writing materials.These inclu- ded such diverse materials as papyrus, parchment, leather, limestone slabs,shoulder blades,ribs, saddle- boards, &c. The Qur'an was first collectedunder the first caliph, Abu Bakr, and codified under the third caliph, 'Uthman. It was, in all likelihood, written on parchmenton both occasions,although one sourcehas it that papyrus was used on the first. All the early Qur'ans which have so far come to light are on parchment, with the exception of a small frag- ment on papyruswhich is attributed to the third Islamic century. The earliest Qur'ans w\ich have reachedus are written in variety of angular scripts commonly-but inappro- priately-describedas Kufic. No completeKufic Qur'an has, to my knowledge, survived and none is provided with a colophon. It is still a matter of controversy whether we possessany Qur'an which can be dated to the first century of the Muslim era.There are a number "signatures" of coclices which bear of the caliphs 'Uthman and 'Ali, but these have been shown to be later pious forgeries. Thanks to the studies published in the course of the last fifty years,especially by B. Moritz, J. von Karaba- cek, G. Bergstrásser,O. Pretzl,A. Grohmann, N. Abbott, and G. Levi della Vida much progresshas been made in the provisional dating of certain Kufic Qur'ans to the late first and to the second century of the Hijra.

  • A Study of an Unknown Primary Document on the Fall of Abbasid Baghdad to the Mongols (Written by the Defeated Side)
    7 VOL. 2, NO. 2, DECEMBER 2017: 7-27 A STUDY OF AN UNKNOWN PRIMARY DOCUMENT ON THE FALL OF ABBASID BAGHDAD TO THE MONGOLS (WRITTEN BY THE DEFEATED SIDE) By ALI BAHRANI POUR* The present study aims to do a documental study of the Mongol invasion and the fall of Baghdad (the capital of the Abbasid Caliphate) in 1258 CE. It is a case study on a document and two comments on it, which were originally recovered from the burial shroud of a person killed during Hülegü’s conquest of Baghdad. This docu- ment was later inserted by someone (possibly by one of its two commentators) in a section of a primary manuscript of Kitab al-Wara’a (written in 1147 CE). Then Os̤ man ibn Ġānim al-Hiti and Ṭahir ibn ‘Abd-Allāh ibn Ibrahim ibn Aḥmad, as commentators, wrote their comments about the document. Although these docu- ments are in the form of fragmentary notes, they are rare primary sources that depict the events and the conditions of the siege, the conquest of Baghdad and the collapse of Abbasid Caliphate. This article, while providing images, revised texts, and translations1 of the documents, aims to introduce them and to explore the civil factors contributing to the fall of Baghdad. Keywords: the fall of Baghdad, the Mongols, the Abbasid Caliphate * ALI BBAHRANI POUR is an associate professor at Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz. 1 I should thank my cousin Mr. Javad Bahrani-pour for his help in translating the document and Mokhtaral-din Ahmad’s article on that into Persian.

Student, Halal Policy and Management, Halal Products Research Institute, Universiti Putra Malaysia 2 Research Officer, Laboratory of Halal Science Research, Halal Products Research Institute, Universiti Putra Malaysia 3 Lecturer, Department of Fiqh and Usul, Academy of Islamic Studies, Universiti Malaya 4 Head, Laboratory of Halal Services, Halal Products Research Institute, Universiti Putra Malaysia 5 Head, Laboratory of Halal Policy and Management, Halal Products Research Institute, University Putra Malaysia Abstract. This paper discusses the issue of gelatin used in food products from Islamic and science perspective. With the development of food technology, variety of food has been produced and some of them are from gelatin based products. Issue arises when the halal status of gelatin is questionable. In food industry, gelatin could derive either from pig skin and cattle hides which are not clear about the status of halalness. This cause concern among muslim and therefore a careful study needs to be done. This paper uses Istihalah method in order to determine the halal and haram status in modern food products. Istihalah or complete process of transformation from one substance into another substance has been applied in gelatin based food products. It is suggested that chemical composition of gelatin remain unchanged in food products because the amino acid in gelatin is still intact and did not undergo any chemical transformation although the production process involve extreme condition.
