Treatise on Maqasid al-Shari'ah by Ibn Ashur
Ibn Ashur, a 20th century Muslim jurist and professor at the ancient Zaytuna madrasah of Tunis, is vividly remembered for his defense of Ramadan in the face of a laïciste regime that sought to abolish it. While classically trained in the sciences of Islam, Ibn Ashur grappled with the issues raised by the reformists and sought to find solutions using the traditional methods, rather than throwing them out as they had done. He lays out his approach in this widely admired treatise.
