An Introduction to Wael B Hallaq‟s Works and Thoughts

1*Abdul Basit

***Dr. Mahmood Ahmad

Abstract

This article presents an introduction to the works and thoughts of

Wael B. Hallaq (b. 1955), a renowned scholar of Islamic law and

Islamic Intellectual history. Introducing Hallaq‟s works and

thoughts this study maintains that Hallaq‟s is the author of

dozens of scholarly articles and books and his teaching and

research deal with the problematic epistemic ruptures generated

by the onset of modernity and the socio-politico-historical forces

subsumed by it; with the intellectual history of Orientalism and

the repercussions of Orientalist paradigms in later scholarship

and in Islamic legal studies as a whole; and with the synchronic

and diachronic development of Islamic traditions of logic, legal

theory, and substantive law and the interdependent systems

within these traditions. His writings have explored the structural

dynamics of legal change in pre-modern law, and have recently

been examining the centrality of moral theory to understanding

the history of Islamic law and modern political movements.
