1 INTRODUCTION TO ISLAMIC LAW: The Historical Development and Foundations of Islamic Legal Schools HARTFORD SEMINARY Spring 2016 Professor: Dr. Feryal Salem Office Hours: Tuesdays, 12:00-2:00 or by appointment Phone: (860) COURSE DESCRIPTION: The evolution of Islamic legal reasoning is a sophisticated aspect of the Islamic tradition with many related topics for exploration. This course will examine the foundations of Islamic law from a multifaceted approach. It will begin by tracing the early development of Islamic law within the first two centuries of Islamic history before individually examining the major schools which developed. Legal methodologies used to derive Islamic law and samples from legal problems will be examined to understand the different ways in which Muslim jurists used the same materials from the Qur an and hadith sources to arrive at different legal conclusions. Contemporary issues related to the relevance of Islamic law in the modern age and the historical 1

2 impact these schools had, both in the Muslim world and beyond, will also be discussed; provoking continued thought and study. COURSE REQUIREMENTS: Students will be introduced to the history and key concepts of Islamic law through a combination of lectures, readings, and assignments. Each week s theme will have a variety of readings that students will be required to engage through assigned questions on the discussion forum as well as one of four class reflection assignments in which students will answer assigned questions about the readings and/or lectures individually. This is a formal assignment and therefore students will be expected to write accordingly. Late assignments will not be accepted without prior excuse. I will be communicating with students weekly either in the form of a lecture presentation and/or comments in the discussion forum. Because this is an online class, participation in the forum is an important part of the grade. In addition, students will be required to write a final page research paper on a topic related to Islamic Law and agreed upon beforehand between the instructor and the student. Topics may include an analysis of the legal methodologies of any of the schools covered in the course, the relationship of historical frameworks with those of the contemporary period, or an examination of a particular aspect of Islamic law and the way various legal schools interact with it. The class schedule is subject to change by the professor. LEARNING GOALS: To understand the early framework from which legal schools evolved To understand the major schools of law within the Islamic tradition in terms of historical development and significance To understand the various intellectual tools of legal reasoning used by legists to derive rulings To be able understand the reasons which legal schools differ and how their methods of interpretation were used in various cases To be able to critically engage contemporary issues related to the use of Islamic law To be able to make historical connections between formal legal schools and many later scholastic institutions which they influence 2

3 FORUM POSTING GUIDELINES: One of the challenges of online learning environments is maintaining an opportunity for class interaction while avoiding a tendency for the forum to mushroom into a plethora of independent discussions. Hence, it is essential for students to follow guidelines in posting on the forum to keep the class discussion a positive learning experience for all students through focused engagement. All posts must be related to the assigned question for that week. Staying on topic is essential for maintaining the relevance of the discussion forum in a large online class. You may post a thoughtful response to one other student as well as post your own answer to the assigned question. Students may not start a new discussion thread on the course site. All posts must maintain a level of professionalism and respect for all of the participants in the forum. Posts which do not meet these guidelines may be removed. GRADE DISTRIBUTION: 1) Weekly Discussion Forum Assignments: 20% 2) 4 Class Reflection Assignments: 10% each = 40% 3) Final Research Paper: 40% ACADEMIC HONESTY In addition to the plagiarism policy in the Student Handbook, the following apply: 1) Students may not recycle their own or other people s work. 2) Students may use the internet for their research papers. However, students must explicitly cite any material that has been taken from the internet or other sources and in most cases are urged to paraphrase rather than copy and paste. 3) Your answers for the four class reflection assignments must be based on the assigned readings and lectures. Students may not search for the answers to these assignments on the internet or from any third party. 3
