Imam Shafi'i : scholar and saint

Overview
A gifted poet and outstanding Islamic Scholar, Abu Abdullah Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi'i (767-820) firmly rejected the use of common sense alone in Islamic legal rulings, arguing that the only valid sunnah (or prophetic religious traditions) were those directly handed down from Muhammad by Hadith. Clearly setting out the hierarchy of Islamic sources of jurisprudence in his most famous work, Al-Risala, he provided a systemised framework of shari'a that the four Sunni legal schools still keep to today. In this latest addition to Makers of the Muslim World series, Kecia Ali examines the life and work of the forefather of the second largest of the four principal Sunni schools of jurisprudence, the Shafi'i, placing him in his intellectual and social context and exploring his lasting influence on Islamic law.
