TY - GEN A1 - Weiffen, Brigitte T1 - Heiliges Recht in moderner Welt : die Scharia zwischen Stabilität und Wandel T1 - Sacred law in a modern world : the Sharia between stability and change N2 - The way in which predominantly Muslim states deal with modernity is strongly influenced by the characteristics of Islamic Law. The Sharia reflects in the most obvious way the lack of separation between secular and religious issues inherent in Islamic doctrine. The article analyses the evolution of law in the Muslim world and illustrates its continuous oscillation between the obligation to stick to the God-given rules and the need to adapt to changes of living conditions.
