Produktbeschreibung
The work, "Practices and Rites Among Ijebu Muslims of Ogun State: Islamic View" distinguishes between Islamic rules (ahkam) and customary practices. It shows the extent at which Islamic Ordinance (Shari'ah) accommodates customary practices that are not inimical to the fundamental tenets of Islam. The Ordinance is used as benchmark to critically view "rites of passage" i.e. naming ('Aqiqah), marriage (Nikkah) and burial (Janazah)among the Muslims in Ijebuland of Ogun State in Nigeria. The book, significantly, does not only show the robust nature, elasticity of the Islamic Ordinance and/or Law but also proves its dynamism in the contemporary era. In the context of this work, by extension, it presupposes the gradual absorption of aspects of Yoruba culture by Islam.
