We would like to invite you to the book launch: Islamic Law in Saudi Arabia by Dominik Krell (BRILL 2025).
The book offers an in-depth exploration of the Saudi judiciary in the twenty-first century. Drawing on Saudi legal literature and court judgments, as well as interviews with leading members of the judiciary, the author addresses two central questions: first, what is the Saudi jurists’ understanding of an Islamic judiciary? And second, how is this understanding reflected in the Saudi legal system, its laws, institutions, and court practices?
The event will feature three speakers who will comment on the book:
Fernanda Pirie (Centre for Socio-Legal Studies)
Martin Lau (SOAS)
Muhammad Zubair Abbasi (Royal Holloway)
