In addition, the <i>Research Handbook</i> highlights how Islamic law has engaged with contemporary issues, looking beyond what is set out in the Qur'an and the Hadith, to examine how Islamic law is applied in societies today.<p>Researchers and scholars with an interest in Islamic law, or the relationship between law and society more generally will find this <i>Research Handbook</i> to be an engaging text. The in-depth analysis, spanning sectors and jurisdictions, will offer new insights and inspire future research.<p>Contributors include: M. Ali, . Alsubaie, A. Begum, A. Black, R. Burgess, M.
