Abstract
This thesis attempts to challenge the dominant historiography in the field of Islamic law and expand our understanding to show that it is more than just the fiqh of jurists. Jurists' law, characterized as a sacred law, arguably reached its final form in the 10th Century CE as an ideal unchanging theory that is the yardstick for the application of Islamic law. Due to this alleged inability to change and its rigidity, Islamic law failed to accommodate the needs of society and proved impractical for governance and ruling authorities created their own secular legal system. This thesis attempts to overcome the dichotomy of a "sacred" and a "secular" law and instead takes into account the practice of the state, its agents, and the laity as equally legitimate and competing manifestations in the overall discourse of Islamic law. As a result, the law never ceased to evolve, but rather, the subject matter and the institutions of Islamic law kept changing over time. Therefore, Islamic law should be understood as a process where the different actors continue to shape and reshape the "correct" form, content, and application thereof.
Ce mémoire tente de contester l'historiographie dominante du droit islamique et d'étendre notre compréhension pour montrer qu'elle est plus que le fiqh des juristes. Le droit des juristes, caractérisé comme une loi religieuse, a atteint sa forme définitive au 10ème siècle comme une théorie idéale immuable qui est le critère pour l'application du droit islamique. En raison de sa rigidité, le droit islamique a échoué pour accommoder les besoins de la société et s'est avérée peu pratique pour la gouvernance et les autorités dirigeantes ont créé une autre système juridique séculière. Ce mémoire tente de surmonter la dichotomie entre une loi « religieuse » et «séculière» et tient plutôt compte de la pratique de l'État, de ses agents et des laïcs comme des manifestations tout aussi légitimes et concurrentes dans le discours général du droit islamique. En conséquence, le droit n'a jamais cessé d'évoluer, mais plutôt que le sujet et les institutions du droit islamique ont évolué avec le temps. Par conséquent, le droit islamique doit être comprise comme un processus où les différents acteurs continuent de façonner et de remodeler sa forme, son contenu et son application «correct».
