{"product_id":"9789350295403","title":"The World of Fatwas Or The Sharia in Action","description":"'The World of Fatwas provides a new prism to non-Muslims for observing Islam, and holds up a mirror to Muslims,  challenging them to necessary introspection for adjusting to a changing world'- J.N. Dixit, diplomat and former Indian Foreign Secretary, of Outlook     Why are women 'the greatest affliction'? Why is slaughtering cows seen as a 'great Islamic act' when the Quran does not even mention it? Why must believers put down non-believers?    In this meticulously researched book, Arun Shourie looks at the social, religious and political contexts of fatwas down the ages. With a mountain of fatwas as his text, he shows us the Shariah in action; he unravels the history of fatwas, and the implications that a faithful, dogmatic adherence to these Islamic decrees holds for the 'believer'. And hence for the non-believers.    First published in 1995, this revised, up-to-date and expanded edition provides both Muslims and non-Muslims alike an even more clear-eyed look at the controversial world of fatwas.","brand":"HarperCollins Publishers India","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47139586539760,"sku":"9789350295403","price":12.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9789350295403_p0.jpg?v=1763673577","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9789350295403","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
