Description
This work establishes, through examination of primary and secondary literature, that Islamic law is a corpus of accretive ascription fundamentally informed by authoritative precedents and practically preserved in the adaptive oral discourse. The transformed legal tradition, while aspiring to keep the connection between the past (Qur'an and Sunnah) and present (ijtihadic opinions), has remained dependant on orality which ascertained the preservation of the singularly specific and characteristic traits of each school of thought.
