Abstract

Fiqh of family in the classical literature is the most interesting area where one can clearly see how our legal thinkers of the bygone days pragmatically negotiated the way for the absorption of their local customs to establish and sustain family and manage marriage and the aftermath of its dissolution. Their foresight in reconciling `urf with textual laws, and their genius in formulating operational rules for complying with the dictates of Shariah commands in tandem with time-space requirements of their local environment are illustrative of the fact that consideration of local factors (`urf and `adat) are part and parcel of grounding divine law into human reality, whether family or wider society. Accordingly, this study by adopting an inductive reading of the classical jurists’ discourse on assimilating custom into the corpus of Islamic family fiqh on selected topical issues proves this to be case. Its compact analysis of this thesis provides useful juridical lessons for developing local family fiqh in Malaysia.
