Abstract

This chapter examines Islamic legal interpretation through fatwas in South India, delving into how the "past" is utilized to interpret rulings for the "present." In justifying the validity of a fatwa, the juristic "past" serves as the most prominent basis, whether from the immediate past (e.g., a decade ago) or the distant past (e.g., half a millennium ago). The chapter clarifies the formal and informal procedures involved in the formation of fatwas, the methodology of iftā’, societal responses, and the long-term impact of these rulings.
