- catalog abstract "Annotation A historian-turned-law clerk in the US courts, Henningan draws on both his backgrounds to examine the origins of the </waqf/>, or pious endowment created in perpetuity, which he says has provided the foundation for much of what is considered Islamic civilization, and though severely curbed by colonial and post-colonial governments during the 20th century, continues to exist within Islamic society. He uses the </waqf/> treatises by writers known as Hilal and al- Khassaf, within the school of jurisprudence named after Abu Hanifa, to inform various debates and analyses within the study of Islamic law and society, including the nature of third-century AH legal culture, the role of treatises within that culture, the establishment of legal legitimacy, the development of the Islamic inheritance system, literary styles and conventions within early Islamic legal discourse, and the relationship between law and society. Annotation 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com).".
