Law, Empire, and the Sultan: Ottoman Imperial Authority and Late Hanafi Jurisprudence - Oxford Islamic Legal Studies
Ayoub, Samy A. (Assistant Professor of Law and Middle Eastern Studies, Assistant Professor of Law and Middle Eastern Studies, The University of Texas at Austin)
This book proposes that late Hanafi legal scholarship in the early modern period secured a role for the Ottoman sultanic authority in the process of lawmaking. It demonstrates that Hanafi jurists sustained and expanded Ottoman sultanic authority through careful reformulations of their own school and their engagement with new notions of governance embraced by the Ottomans.
