Islamic law never achieved unity but developed into five surviving schools, which, when first established, were in competition with one another. This scholarly book is the first to examine critically the differing Islamic theories of abrogation (or Naskh) upon which each school based its claim to be the correct interpretation.

A simple and a basic introduction to the basis of Women testimony in Islam. Other themes also include Al-Jassas commentary on documentation. Furthermore, documentation as evidence in Islamic Criminal Law is examined.In recent times the opinions of our jurists concerning some important issues of the Islamic Law of Evidence, as mentioned in the Qur'an, have remained a hot subject of debate. We find it appropriate to present our views on these issues so that our learned scholars can deliberate on them from another angle.The first issue pertains to the testimony of a woman. The general opinion in this regard is that in cases of Hodood [punishments ordained by God], female witnesses are in no way acceptable. There are affairs in which their testimony is acceptable only when in place of a male witness two of them testify alongside another male witness, while in certain feminine affairs their testimony as sole witnesses is acceptable.
