This study and translation of Ibn Qayyim's important work on the
principles of jurisprudence comes at an opportune time for students
of medieval Islamic studies in general and Islamic law in
particular. Focusing on one of the most critical and hotly debated
issues of Islamic law, i.e., ijtihad and taql?d, this book is an
important contribution to the field. Mustafa offers a very accurate
and lucid translation of the relevant sections of Ibn Qayyim's
lengthy work, I'lam al Muwaqqi'in 'an Rabb al 'Alamin. Included in
the volume is a valuable introduction to acquaint the reader with
the ongoing debate, showing the intricate relationship between
taqlid and ijtihad and how the two interacted and complemented each
other.
