Tag hinzufügen | Zusammenfassung: | Zugl.: London, Univ., Diss., 2014 Methodology and general difficultiesThe current state of Islamic waqf law : highlighting and discussing the criticisms of the waqf system -- Exploring the yension between the waqf 's perpetuity laws and the English trust's rule against perpetuities -- Trust and waqf ownership structures -- Conclusion. Using a combination of the comparative legal method and hermeneutics, this book reconciles Islamic law with English trust’s law in these two main areas. It does not find it necessary for one legal system to reign supreme over the other, as such solutions will be questioned by the internal subjects of the dominated legal system, undermining the efficacy of this study. Rather, reconciliation is a mutual step to congruence taken by both legal systems. In the area of perpetuities, the book finds that neither Islamic Waqfs must be perpetual, nor common law trusts must have a rule against perpetuities. Regarding ownership theories, the multiplicity of rendered theories in both legal systems presents more than one avenue of reconciliation. Overall, the study finds that private Waqfs and private trusts can be reconciled without undermining the internal hermeneutic standpoints of both legal systems |
