Summary:How should contemporary Muslims define the relationship between normative Islamic jurisprudence--worked out by classical jurists over the course of centuries--and the reality that confronts them in their everyday lives? Is there a need for reformation in Islam? If so, where should it begin and how should it proceed? So far, these challenging questions have received little attention from Western scholars.
