Abstract :First paragraph: The year 2013 saw the long-overdue publication of Umar Faruq Abd-Allah Wymann-Landgraf’s immensely important study on Islamic law. Mālik and Medina is based on Abd-Allah’s 1978 dissertation, “Mālik’s concept of ʿamal in the light of Mālikī legal theory,” which has circulated for decades in the form of photocopies and PDF files. The work’s appearance in printed form provides an opportunity for a critical evaluation of its contribution to the field of Islamic legal studies.
