CULS/CU Islamic Society: 'Justice through an Islamic lens'

The University Law Society and Islamic Society are collaborating on an event, with Dr Sohail Hanif invited to talk about justice and Islamic law on Thursday 20 February 2025 at 6.30PM in LG19.

Sohail Hanif works on Islamic legal theory, with a focus on the Ḥanafī school of law. He received a MA and DPhil from the University of Oxford. His doctoral thesis, A Theory of Early Classical Ḥanafism: Legal Epistemology in the Hidāyah of Burhān al-Dīn ‘Alī ibn Abī Bakr al-Marghīnānī (d. 593/1197), studies the interplay of rationality and tradition in a major work of legal commentary.
