„Fatāwa Compilations. Exploring a legal genre in the Islamic West“
to be held on June 30, Wednesday at 12pm (EST), 6pm (Münster) 7pm (Istanbul) via Zoom.
Abstract: Much has been written about the Maliki fatāwā literature and attention has been especially paid to al-Wansharīsī’s (d. 914/1508) compilation. But why were such works written? Were there different types? Were they written at specific times? I will first review the chronology and typology of the fatāwā compilations written in the Islamic West (al-Andalus, Sicily and the Maghreb) between the 3rd/9th-9th/15th centuries. The information regarding their authors and the reasons they stated for compiling legal opinions according to each period will be analyzed as well as the extent to which the fatāwā compilations reflect specific political contexts.
