These two volumes are an English translation of the fifth volume of the famous comparative encyclopaedia of Islamic jurisprudence, al-Fiqh al-Islami wa-Adillatuh. This part of the encyclopaedia covers topics such as sales, loans, partnerships, guaranty, absolution, entitlement and ownership. It serves to provide Western readers an insight into the richness of Islamic jurisprudence in the financial field, and how its rulings are derived from the sources of the Islamic Law.
