FIQH OF MUSLIM MINORITIES: FOUNDATIONS, CONTROVERSIES AND DILEMMAS

Summary/Abstract: Shari’a law problems of Muslim minorities more and more occupy the attention of contemporary Islamic lawyers and scientists. At the beginning their attention was aimed at solving of single questions and dilemmas and recently it is more and more being aimed towards theoretical foundations and methodological framing of a new type in the field of fiqh which is, by many experts, named as “fiqh of Muslim minorities”. This paper brings a cross section and analysis of some important discussions and treatises on the character, problems, position and significance of “Muslim minorities’ fiqh”. It treats the principles of general usul-fiqh and the regulations of fiqh which are used in the attempts to found this, conditionally said, new branch of fiqh. The analysis of these attempts develops all complexity controversies, dilemmas and contradictory opinions of the treated problem. All that makes a reason more for the research workers to take a more serious approach to the problem of fiqh at Muslim minorities and offer some new many-sided, multidisciplinary researches which would make life easier to the Muslims in non- Muslim countries to get accustomed to the new society to find the best model of integration into the society and at the same time, preservation of their religious and cultural identity.
