Abd-Allah Wymann-Landgraf\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book studies the legal reasoning of Mālik ibn Anas (d. 179 H.\/795 C.E.) in the \u003ci\u003eMuwaṭṭa'\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eMudawwana\u003c\/i\u003e. Although focusing on Mālik, the book presents a broad comparative study of legal reasoning in the first three centuries of Islam. It reexamines the role of considered opinion (\u003ci\u003era'y\u003c\/i\u003e), dissent, and legal \u003ci\u003eḥadīths\u003c\/i\u003e and challenges the paradigm that Muslim jurists ultimately concurred on a \"four-source\" (Qurʾān, \u003ci\u003esunna\u003c\/i\u003e, consensus, and analogy) theory of law. Instead, \u003ci\u003eMālik and Medina\u003c\/i\u003e emphasizes that the four Sunnī schools of law (\u003ci\u003emadhāhib\u003c\/i\u003e) emerged during the formative period as distinctive, consistent, yet largely unspoken legal methodologies and persistently maintained their independence and continuity over the next millennium.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDr. Umar F.
