Iyad Zahalka’s commendable Shari’a in the Modern Era: Muslim Minorities
Jurisprudence gives researchers and legal practitioners an overview of the
emerging fiqh al-aqalliyyāt (the jurisprudence of minorities) discipline. In
fact, at the time of its publication several other books were published on this
subject, among them Uriya Shavit’s Shari’a and Muslim Minorities: The
Wasati and Salafi Approaches to Fiqh al-Aqalliyyāt al-Muslima (Oxford: Oxford
University Press, 2015) and Said Fares Hassan’s Fiqh al-Aqalliyyāt: History,
Development, and Progress (New York: Palgrave Macmillan, 2016).

Zahalka credits Shavit with giving him useful comments while preparing
Shari’ah in the Modern Era.
It is no coincidence that all of these books are from a Sunni perspective
with particular focus on the works of two well-known scholars in the Sunni
legal world: Yusuf al-Qaradawi and Taha Jabir al-Alwani (d. 2016). Zahalka’s
book, therefore, captures the gradual creation of another – or perhaps a new
– branch of fiqh that focuses on the socio-legal issues faced by Muslims ruled
by non-Muslim sovereigns or systems that conflict with Islamic law. His objective
is to examine the “fiqh al-aqalliyyāt of the wasaṭi faction, a school of
thought dominated by the Muslim Brotherhood that positions itself in the middle

the disintegration of the commitment to religious tradition” (p. 4). The author ...
