Abstract
The theme of Maqasid al-Shari’ah derives maximum attention from the
modern Islamic legal scholarship to redefine the philosophy of Islamic law as a basis for any sort of reform or tajdid project. Modern times have
witnessed the renewed vigorous interest in this discourse from genii like
ibn al-‘Ashur to ‘Allal al-Fasi, al-Buti to al-Qardawi, al-‘Alwani to Hamid
Hassan, ‘Attiya to al-Raysuni, Kamali to Tariq Ramadan, etc. The important works, these stalwarts have prouduced, have been translated into English (and other European languages as well). The volume under review, edited by Adis Duderija (Senior lecturer in the Gender Studies Department at University of Malaya, Malaysia) is the collection of nine papers probing into Contemporary Muslim Reformist thought vis-à-vis various important theorists and paradigms, and hermeneutics of gender justice from maqasidi perspective. The work is an important addition to the list of such works investigating the contemporary reformist Muslim thought vis-à-vis maqasid al-Shari’a.
