This open access book is a theoretical analysis of Muslim jurisprudence (\u003ci\u003efiqh\u003c\/i\u003e) to understand the underlying ideas embedded in the sources of Muslim inheritance jurisprudence (\u003ci\u003efiqh al-mawarith\u003c\/i\u003e). The aim is to understand the problems associated with inheritance and to explain the necessity for reform in \u003ci\u003efiqh\u003c\/i\u003e. Adopting a critical approach, topics covered include the distribution of the estate among heirs, women's inheritance, issues associated with inheritance for children and grandchildren, and problems surrounding differences of religion and the nuclear family.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book outlines the Sunni and the Shi'i jurisprudential systems of Muslim inheritance, revealing their underlying similarities and differences. It also presents and considers evidence put forward by the main jurisprudential schools in relation to inheritance law. Finally, in the analysis of the interpretation and application of jurisprudence for law-making, the book proposes how reform in \u003ci\u003efiqh\u003c\/i\u003e could beneficially impact contemporary inheritance laws to better serve their various contexts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe ebook editions of this book are available open access under a CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 licence on bloomsburycollections.com.
