Introducing Hadith Studies: Interpretive Principles of the Hanafi School - Paperback

by Safaruk Z. Chowdhury (Author)

This book introduces the key interpretive principles that form the hadith hermeneutics of the Hanafi School. It surveys the formation and development of the School from its founder Abu Hanifa until the theorisation and consolidation of later adherents. It then explains the interpretive principles with examples of those principles applied to legal cases. The copious citation of classical Arabic texts makes this a convenient reference for those studying and researching this subject area.
