This weekend, a new series of classes begins that will focus on the origins and sources of Islamic law over a course of 12 sessions. By understanding the rationale and procedures by which we can apply the different elements of jurisprudence, it is hoped that students can see the various levels of diversity and increase the respect for the broad legal rulings present in the Islamic world.
Taught by Shaykh Abdullah bin Hamid Ali, these classes will be held every Saturday from 1pm to 3pm at Ta'leef Collective in November & December 2009 and January 2010. These classes are conducted by the Zaytuna Institute Distance Learning / Knowledge Resources program. Here is the list of classes:
