العدالة والعقاب في المتخيل الإسلامي خلال العصر الوسيط

Cambridge Studies in Islamic Civilization

by Christian Lange, كريستيان لانغ, رياض الميلادي (ترجمة)

How was the use of violence against Muslims explained and justified in medieval Islam? What role did state punishment play in delineating the private from the public sphere? What strategies were deployed to cope with the suffering caused by punishment? These questions are explored in Christian Lange's in-depth study of the phenomenon of punishment, both divine and human, in eleventh-to-thirteenth-century Islamic society. The book examines the relationship between state and society in meting out justice, Muslim attitudes to hell and the punishments that were in store in the afterlife, and the legal dimensions of punishment. The cross-disciplinary approach embraced in this study, which is based on a wide variety of Persian and Arabic sources, sheds light on the interplay between theory and practice in Islamic criminal law, and between executive power and the religious imagination of medieval Muslim society at large.

[Sumayyah · Rating 5 out of 5]

الكتاب ثري بالتاريخ السلجوقي، ويعطي للقارئ لمحة عن حقائق الحكام في العصر الاسلامي الوسيط ، وكيفية اسقاطهم العقاب على المخالفين لحكمهم والمجرمين ومرتكبي الاثام ، لقد تميز المؤلف في طرح الموضوع بحيادية فلم يميل لاحد المذاهب خلال العصر الاسلامي، وقد سلط الضوء على انواع العقوبات التي كانت تمارس وتنفذ، يضاف إلى المؤلف قدرته على البحث العلمي الدقيق في جمع المصادر وتنوعها بما يخدم التأليف.

العنوان واسع جدًا مقارنة بالمحتوى ، أكثر ما شد نظري استعراض مسألة خلاف الحنفية والشافعية في إلحاق حد الزنا كعقوبة للّواط أم لا .
