Abstract: Abstract ‘The future of Islamic law’ assesses the future of Islamic law. Owing to the influence of modern state structures and modern modes of law-making, the form and application of Islamic law as part of state law today is not based strictly on direct reference to classical fiqh manuals, but indirectly through state legislation in the form of codified statutes. Codification raises two questions concerning the future of Islamic law. The first question relates to form, while the second relates to content. One aspect of classical fiqh that may be affected by codified Islamic law is the flexibility of ikhtilāf (differences of juristic opinion), as the codified fiqh becomes the applicable law.
