The Family in Islam: Marriage, Divorce and Children's Rights according to Dr Abdelmajid IHADDADENE

Comparative case law:

• The four legal schools
• contemporary opinions
• French rights

Today, family law is the area that draws the most from Islamic legislation in most Muslim countries.

Because, although influenced by the considerable evolutions of our contemporary societies, it nevertheless retains an undeniable religious imprint.

The interest of this book is twofold: scientific and practical.

• Scientific first, because it offers teachers, imams and students a simplified didactic support on purpose and which the French-speaking library so badly needs.

• Practice then, because it makes available to each Muslim wishing to please his lord, the essentials of Islamic jurisprudence in the field of family law. In addition to old legal details, he will also find contemporary legal opinions (fatāwā) which take into account the particular situations experienced in the Western context.

And as for the Muslim community living in France, the author briefly recalled the legal elements of French civil law.
