Islamic Legal Theory: A Critical Introduction: Based on al-Juwayni's Waraqat fi usul al-fiqh
David Vishanoff’s thorough and original unpacking of the Sunnī jurist al-Juwaynī’s (1028–1085) Kitāb al-Waraqāt fī uṣūl al-fiqh introduces English-speaking readers to the main concepts, terms, principles, and functions of the classical Islamic discipline of legal theory.
