Islamic Law Scholarship Roundup

  • In “The ICC and Traditional Islamic Legal Scholarship: Analysing the War Crimes Against Civilians” (in International Criminal Law: A Counter-Hegemonic Project, 2022), Fajri Matahati Muhammadin (Universitas Gadjah Mada) and Ahmad Sadzali (Universitas Islam Indonesia) argue that “if Islamic law has prescribed criminalization for international crimes up to a standard which is at least on par with what international law requires, this would mean at least that (a) there would be no reason for the ICC to not refer to Islamic law resources, and (b) Muslim states/groups who implement it would not need to refer cases to the ICC due to the complementarity principle.”
  • In “Preconditions and Suggestions for Islamic Finance to Generate Sustained Economic Growth” (in Contemporary Issues in Islamic Law, Economics and Finance, 2022) Murat Cizakca (Karatay University) explores how Islamic finance can help generate sustained economic growth.
