Everyday Islamic Law and the Making of Modern South Asia is a thoroughly researched, well-written and important examination of how qazis, muftis and ordinary individuals shaped everyday Islamic law in 19th century South Asia, and how their concerted efforts helped maintain a robust presence of Islamic law in various legal fields. Lhost’s work is a valuable resource to anyone hoping to learn more about the history of Islamic law under colonial rule.
