Historical studies of Islamic legal systems have focused primarily on courts and prominent muftīs. My research shifts the focus to the community level, with particular attention to women and their relationships with male family members, drawing on cases from Fez and its environs under the Marinid dynasty from the mid-seventh/thirteenth to the mid-ninth/fifteenth century. I argue that people actively engaged with Islamic law in their daily lives and relationships, and that women had access to informal legal spaces that allowed them to influence the legal process, making interpretive decisions on issues where the Mālikī school accepted multiple opinions. Through an analysis of fatwās issued by Marinid jurists, I explore how communities and legal officials resolved contentious disputes, and how women used legal knowledge to participate in the legal process.

活的伊斯兰法：摩洛哥马里尼德的妇女与法律文化


伊斯兰法律制度的历史研究主要集中在法院和著名的穆夫提。我的研究将重点转移到社区层面，特别关注女性及其与男性家庭成员的关系，借鉴了马里尼德王朝从 7/13 世纪中叶到 9/15 世纪中叶非斯及其周边地区的案例. 我认为人们在日常生活和人际关系中积极参与伊斯兰法律，女性可以进入非正式的法律空间，这使她们能够影响法律程序，对马利基学派接受多种意见的问题做出解释性决定。通过对马里尼德法学家发布的教令的分析，我探讨了社区和法律官员如何解决有争议的纠纷，
