Abstract

This paper examines the concept of qadhf/defamation in the light of the
judicial registers of the Bakhchisaray (Crimea) and various Istanbul
law-courts. To give the reader a legal and historical background, it gives a
summary of the Sunni legal doctrines. I hope this study contributes to our
understanding of Sunni Islamic law and the application of the law in the qadi courts.
