Collective Liability in Islam

Beschreibung

Offering the first close analysis of the ?Aqila, a group jointly liable for blood money payments on behalf of its members, this study traces the transformation of this important institution from pre-Islamic custom to the Shari?a, and follows its further re-shaping through the modern period, in relation to Islamic religion, state, and society.
