Ebussuud Effendi was the paradigmatic Ottoman ‘alim. Not just in terms of the legal and the spiritual culture which he occupied, but also because in many ways he understood the tension that existed between local, imperial pragmatism and the idealising discourse of the sharia.

In this session, Shaykh Abdal Hakim evaluates the extent to which he tried to bring together customary law and the sultanic decree with the ideals of the Hanafi sharia, making him one of greatest scholars of the Ottoman Empire.

This talk was delivered on June 15, 2019.
