Land law and Islam : property and human rights in the Muslim world

Land, law, and Islam : property and human rights in the Muslim world

Siraj Sait and Hilary Lim discuss Islamic property and land rights in this groundbreaking work, drawing on a variety of socio-historical, classical, and modern sources.

 They discuss the impact of Islamic property doctrines and land tenure laws on the ‘webs of tenure’ that exist in Muslim cultures. 

They are looking into the feasibility of developing inclusive, pro-poor approaches to land rights using Islamic law and human rights systems.

They also focus on Muslim women’s rights to property and inheritance systems.

Engaging with institutions such as the Islamic endowment (waqf) and principles of Islamic microfinance, they test the workability of ‘authentic’ Islamic proposals. 

Located in human rights as well as Islamic debates, this study offers a well researched and constructive appraisal of property and land rights in the Muslim world.
