Numerous works in different languages have appeared over the past half century to introduce this school of Islamic law and its history, legal theory, and substance in contexts of Shīʿī law.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWhile previous literature has focused on the current status of the school in its developed and expanded form, this book presents an intellectual history of how the school began. The Jaʿfarī school emerged within the general legal discourse of the late-Umayyad and early-Abbasid periods, but was known to differ in certain approaches from the other main legal schools of this time. Namely, the Jaʿfarī school expanded the tools for legal interpretation generally and contracts specifically, to a degree unmatched by any of its counterparts in the Muslim legal tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to sketching the origins of the school, the book examines Jaʿfar al-Ṣādiq's interpretive approach through detailing his position on a number of specific questions, as well as the legal canons, presumptions, and other interpretive tools he adopted.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47000760451308,"sku":"9780674271890","price":121.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/1220783482428.jpg?v=1763302634"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.live\/collections\/hossein-modarressi.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
