This volume provides an overview of the nature and scope of the concept of Sunna both in pre-modern and modern Islamic discussions. The main focus is on shedding more light on the context in which the term Sunna in the major works of Islamic law and legal theory across all of the major madhahib was employed during the first six centuries Hijri.
“A new academic work on Sunna is welcome, in order to update researchers and readers on current debates on Sunna and Hadith. … the book offers access to a wide range of conceptions of Sunna among legal theorists, jurists, theologians and traditionalists. … this book has its place in Sunna studies, and should be useful for teachers, students and researchers in Islamic studies.” (Abdessamad Belhaj, Islam and Christian–Muslim relations, Vol. 28 (3), 2017)
