A Treatise on Liberal Critiques of Ridda
An examination of apostasy in Islamic law and its liberal critics.
This treatise takes on one of the most charged questions in modern discussions of Islam: ridda, or apostasy, and how Islamic law treats it. Hijab surveys classical juristic positions, distinguishes between theological and political dimensions of the question, and responds to liberal critiques that present apostasy rulings as incompatible with freedom of conscience. The book argues from within the Islamic tradition while engaging secular political philosophy, and it assumes a reader willing to follow legal and philosophical detail.
