1 LAHORE UNIVERSITY OF MANAGEMENT SCIENCES (LUMS) DEPARTMENT OF LAW & POLICY WINTER LAW 161 / SS 318 ISLAMIC JURISPRUDENCE Kamaluddin Ahmed Room 237A (Next to Auditoriums A-14 and A-15) Tel.: Ext Hkamaluddin@lums.edu.pkH Class Timings: MW 9:40-11:30am Walk-in Office Hours: MW: 11:45am-1:15pm Th: 11:45am-12:45pm Sign-up Office Hours: Th: 3:30-5pm Or by appointment TA: Maria Omar mariao@lums.edu.pk UIntroduction This course concerns itself with Islamic jurisprudence its theoretical formulations and historical developments. The course begins with an introductory session on the philosophy of Islamic law followed by a discussion of the early development of Islamic law and legal theories. We then move to a detailed examination of the theoretical, textual, and rational tools employed by jurists to derive sacred law. The course concludes by examining the interaction between law, history, and society, as well as charting early trajectories of revival and reform. This course is useful for those with an interest in law and legal theory, legal history, and classical Islamic Studies. It is also beneficial for those who plan to go into NGOs, politics, journalism, human rights and related fields as debates and discussions on Islamic law and legal theory are increasingly at the forefront. It is hoped that by the end of the course, students will have engaged the literature on Islamic jurisprudence sufficiently enough to: 1-understand legal reasoning as practiced by Islamic jurists, 2- critically assess statements made in the field of Islamic law and legal theory, and 3- themselves think constructively and independently on such matters. URequirements and Grading Class Participation and Attendance 20% In-Class Response Quizzes 15% Term Paper (10-12 pages) 25% Comprehensive Final Exam 40% 1

2 Attendance is, by consent of the Dean, mandatory. Students who arrive in class more than 10 minutes late will be marked absent. Students will be granted one free pass to use at their discretion after which absences will be recorded. Excused absences include documented illnesses, family emergencies and the like. All other absences will be considered unexcused. The final decision lies with the instructor. 5% of your final grade will be based on Attendance. Unexcused absences will result in grade reductions according to the following chart: Number of Unexcused Absences Grade Reduction 1-1 of the 5% for attendance 2-3 of the 5% for attendance 3-5 of the 5% for attendance more than 3 5% reduction of overall grade per extra absence Class sessions will be a combination of lecture and discussion. Assigned readings form the basis of my lectures, our class discussions and your written work. Keeping up with the readings is thus crucial for satisfactory performance in the course and everyone is expected to come to class having digested the readings, ready to explain and analyze them, and to participate intensively in discussions. Occasionally, and at random, response quizzes will be given at any time during class. These will consist of term definitions and/or multiple-choice questions based on the readings for that day. Class Participation may be earned by making a thoughtful and valuable contribution in class or via . CP on readings must be received before the start of class, and CP on lectures and discussions must be received before the start of the next class. Term papers should provide a succinct analysis and/or critique of a topic covered in the course and should not be lists of quotes or summaries of the readings. For example, you may challenge the author s definition of terms, question his analysis or argument, raise relevant questions left unanswered by the author, present your own analysis of the issue under examination, or discuss a common trait in the different readings for a particular theme. Although topics will be assigned, students may also propose their own topics for approval. Questions will be based exclusively on course readings, lectures, and discussions. No further research is required for papers. Cases of plagiarism will be dealt with seriously and as per LUMS policy. Note: Late submission of papers will adversely affect your grade. Late papers will be downgraded a third of a letter grade per day. For example, a paper due Tuesday that would earn a B when handed in on Thursday will receive a C+. Papers submitted more than three days after the due date will not be accepted. The comprehensive final exam will cover material from the entire course. 2

3 Course Outline All readings are in a reading packet available for purchase from the Nashuatec photocopy center and for loan from the library. Students are strongly encouraged to acquire their own packet so that they may mark and highlight passages while reading. You must bring the readings with you to class as we may refer to specific passages during class discussions. There will be 20 class sessions of 100 minutes each. There is no midterm for this course.
