Jews and Islamic Law in Early 20th-Century Yemen - Sephardi and Mizrahi Studies
Mark S. Wagner
In early 20th-century Yemen, a sizable Jewish population was subject to sumptuary laws and social restrictions. This book draws on autobiographical writings to study the careers of three Jewish intermediaries who used their knowledge of Islamic law to manipulate the shari'a for their own benefit and for the good of their community.
