Abstract

Bu çalışmada oryantalistlerin ilgilendikleri temel konulardan birisi olan fıkhın mahiyeti konusunun merkeze alındığı Baber Johansen’in Contingency in a Sacred Law: Legal and Ethical Norms in the Muslim Fiqh eseri değerlendirilecektir. Joseph Schacht’ın fıkhın mahiyetine dair görüşlerine kuvvetli eleştirilerde bulunan Johansen’in Contingency in a Sacred Law adlı eseri 1999 yılına kadar çeşitli dillerde kaleme aldığı makalelerin derlemesinden müteşekkildir. Johansen’in aynı yılda yayınlanan Contingency in a Sacred Law adlı eserine yazdığı giriş yazısı, fıkhın mahiyetine dair ortaya koyduğu en kapsamlı yazılarından birisi kabul edilmektedir. Bu açıdan kitabın yayınlaması üzerinden geçen yirmi iki yıla rağmen Johansen’in mevzubahis edilen kitabı ve giriş yazısı fıkhın mahiyeti üzerine yürütülen tartışmalarda sahip olduğu önemi kaybetmemiştir. Bununla birlikte kitap hakkında Türkçe bir kitap değerlendirmesi bulunmamaktadır. Söz konusu kitap, yayınlanmasını takip eden yıllarda kayda değer sayıda Batılı araştırmacı tarafından kaleme alınan kitap değerlendirmeleri de dikkate alınarak değerlendirilecektir.

Abstract

Baber Johansen’s Contingency in Sacred Law and His Opinions About Nature of Fiqh

Abstract

In this study, Baber Johansen’s Contingency in a Sacred Law: Legal and Ethical Norms in the Muslim Fiqh, which focuses on the nature of fiqh, one of the main subjects of interest to orientalists, will be reviewed. Johansen’s Contingency in a Sacred Law, which strongly criticizes Joseph Schacht’s views on the nature of fiqh, consists of a compilation of articles he wrote in various languages until 1999. Johansen’s introduction to Contingency in a Sacred Law, which was published in the same year, is considered one of the most comprehensive writings on the nature of fiqh. In this respect, despite the twenty-two years that have passed since the publication of the book, Johansen’s book and introduction have not lost their importance in the discussions on the nature of Islamic jurisprudence. Despite its importance, there is no Turkish book review about the book. Contingency in a Sacred Law will be reviewed by considering the book reviews written by a significant number of Western researchers in the years following its publication.
