Asaf A.A. Fyzee was a renowned author in the field of Islamic jurisprudence and his contribution to Muhammadan Law has been indispensable for advancing its understanding. This classic work, which essentially lays down the tenets of Islamic jurisprudence in a comprehensive manner, has enjoyed exceptional popularity for decades.

In this book, Fyzee begins with the origin of Muslim law in the light of pre-Islamic Arabia and ancient Arabian customs and goes on to cover areas such as marriage and its dissolution, parentage, guardianship, and legitimacy, maintenance and gifts, as well as the Sunnite and Shiite laws of inheritance.

Since the publication of the fifth edition eight years ago, the higher courts in the subcontinent have come out with a number of highly significant decisions on various aspects of Muslim law. On the legislative front, there has been hardly any activity, except that in India the Wakf Act of 1995 was subjected to massive changes in 2013. This sixth edition covers the developments through revised and updated chapter-wise addenda, leaving intact the original text as it appeared in the last
edition.

Tahir Mahmood, former Member, Law Commission of India, is a renowned jurist specializing in Islamic Law, Hindu Law, Religion and Law, and Law Relating to Minorities. Presently, he is Honorary Chair, Institute of Advanced Legal Studies, Amity University.
