Islamic Law Scholarship Roundup

  • In “Islamic Law and Colonialism” (in Cambridge Companion to Islamic Law, Cambridge University Press, under review), Rabiat Akande (Osgoode School of Law) and Halimat Adeniran (Osun State University) argue that colonialism and the ensuing centralization of the nation state in Muslim polities resulted in what they call “fiqh monism.”
  • In “Problems of the Global Economic Recession and Strategies for Facing It: An Islamic Economic Perspective” (EKSYAR : Jurnal Ekonomi Syari’ah & Bisnis Islam 10, no. 2 (2023)), Sri Fatimah Rahmatillah (Institut Agama Islam Negeri (IAIN) Parepare, Indonesia) argues that “[t]he Islamic financial system is here to provide various strategies that can be implemented to overcome the economic crisis and build an advanced and healthy economy, the primary sources of which come from the Qur’an and Hadith.”
  • In “Exploring Legal Dimensions: The Role of Generation Z and Millennials in Online Lending through the Lens of Islamic Law” (Jurnal Riset Ilmu Hukum 3, no. 2 (2023)), Linatul Uyun (Universitas Jenderal Soedirman) and Chaula Luthfia (Universitas Sultan Ageng Tirtayasa) argue that “debt receivables through legal technology intermediaries,” often used by younger generations, “are permissible in Islam.”
