Series: - Arab and Islamic Laws Series, Volume: 5
Author:
This book is the first comprehensive examination of the new codes of the major states of the Gulf region. It examines the historical roots and systemization of the theory of contracts according to the classical law of Islam, ans charts the dichotomy between the legal theory and practice. The influence of the divine sources of the law, eclectic sources and legal methodologies on the system of contracts is assessed, as is the way in which more rigid, established laws have either resisted or been accommodated to adjust to social changes.
By examining modern legislation in Bahrain, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, this work emphasizes the continuing importance of Islamic contractual precepts within modern codifications of the Arab Gulf States and will be of equal enduring value to commercial and legal practitioners as well as scholars and students of Middle East Law.
