Islam & Jurisprudence (or, ‘Islamic Law’): A Basic Bibliography

Patrick S. O’Donnell (2022)

This compilation, like most of my bibliographies, has two constraints: books, in English. I trust
the inference will not be made that this implies the best works are only in English, as it merely
reflects the limits of my knowledge and research. “Jurisprudence” in this case can refer to
Islamic philosophy and/or theory of law, as well as historical and existing legal systems in those
countries in which Islam is (i) a state-sanctioned religion, (ii) predominant as a religious
orientation in the society, (iii) or has a significant impact on the country’s legal system in one
way or another. I have used the phrase “Islam and Jurisprudence” for the title to reflect the fact
that it is a perilous endeavor to conclusively identify, except perhaps philosophically or
theologically (and even then, there are inherent problems), Islamic law as such (i.e., in any kind
of absolutist or ‘pure’ sense) in legal systems on the ground, as we say, even if we rightly derive
warrant for this appellation from both emic and etic reasons. This list does not aspire to be
exhaustive, although I hope it is at least representative of the depth and breadth of the available
literature. I welcome suggestions for titles I may have inadvertently missed.
