The Sources of Ismaili Law

27/01/2012 14:24:33

This paper was delivered at the Congress of the American Oriental Society in Santa Barbara in March 1974. In it, Wilferd Madelung presents his exhaustive research into the origins and sources of a monumental document that was considered lost to history; the Kitab al-idah, Qadi al-Nu‘man's first legal work - a vast collection of legal traditions transmitted from the family of the Prophet (ahl al-bayt), indicating their points of consensus (ijma‘) and conflict (ikhtilaf) and elucidating what was firmly established doctrine in them with evidence and proofs. This article provides an invaluable resource for academics and students of Islamic studies and related fields.

We are pleased to inform you that the elections for the leadership of the Chapter Groups for Asia, Europe and North America are now complete. A run-off election was held for Europe (President) as no one from the original slate of candidates received a majority of the votes. We would like to express our gratitude to the retiring leadership for all the work they have undertaken during their term and we hope that they will offer their support to the newly appointed leadership. We would also like to congratulate the new leaders and we look forward to working with them to strengthen the foundations already established. The following candidates have been elected to lead the Chapter Groups for a one year term ending 31st August 2012.
