It also analyses individual strategies, external to religio-legal discourse, through which Muslims mitigate conflicts between interpretations of shariʿa and everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmong the issues discussed in the book are financial transactions, education, the workplace, sports, electoral participation, Christmas greetings, proselytizing, and the legitimacy of choosing to live in a non-Muslim country. Shifting the focus from the authors and texts of fatwas to their recipients, \u003ci\u003eShariʿa and Life\u003c\/i\u003e gives voice to those often left voiceless and demonstrates the great discretion and flexibility with which tensions between shariʿa and life are resolved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"By Uriya Shavit and Fabian Spengler","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43575273357494,"sku":"9781487554378","price":31.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0251\/4980\/0541\/files\/9781487554378.jpg?v=1727457252","url":"https:\/\/combined-academic.myshopify.com\/products\/shari-x2bf-a-and-life","provider":"Combined Academic Publishers - Mare Nostrum Group","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
