This compact work deals with and lucidly explains the principles of Muslim Law. The new fourth edition of this very popular work has been thoroughly revised and updated, keeping in view the tremendous developments that took place through the judicial decisions since the publication of the last edition. Landmark decisions affecting and changing some of the socially incongruous concepts relating to divorce, Mehar, maintenance, remarriage on motivated conversion, wakf beneficiaries, wakf boards, pre-emption, primogeniture etc. have been incorporated.
Another noteworthy feature of the book is the exhaustive analysis of the constitutional aspects of Mohammedan law principles. Latest case-law has been examined to note these developments. Further, the interactions between the personal law and social ethos have been elucidated by notes. Opinions of academic jurists have also been included.
