How did medieval Muslim jurists deal with popular devotional practices that lacked an explicit source in the Qur'an and Hadith? Most contemporary scholars---both Western and Muslim---assume that jurists uniformly rejected all innovations (bida'; sing., bid'ah) in devotional law ('ibadat). They explain the dynamism and diversity within Muslim devotional life by distinguishing between a normative Islam and a popular Islam. This dissertation contributes to the growing literature that challenges the normative/popular dichotomy by demonstrating that jurists were not uniform in their own writings about innovations. Instead, jurists debated the permissibility of devotional innovations throughout the 5th/11th--10th/16th centuries.

520 $a How did medieval Muslim jurists deal with popular devotional practices that lacked an explicit source in the Qur'an and Hadith? Most contemporary scholars---both Western and Muslim---assume that jurists uniformly rejected all innovations (bida'; sing., bid'ah) in devotional law ('ibadat). They explain the dynamism and diversity within Muslim devotional life by distinguishing between a normative Islam and a popular Islam. This dissertation contributes to the growing literature that challenges the normative/popular dichotomy by demonstrating that jurists were not uniform in their own writings about innovations. Instead, jurists debated the permissibility of devotional innovations throughout the 5th/11th--10th/16th centuries.
520 $a The study first explores the debates found primarily in the jurists' kutub al-bida' (treatises against innovations) literature. By analyzing not only how they defined bid'ah but how they used bid'ah to assess acts, the study reveals two distinctive approaches. Jurists, such as the H&dotbelow;anbali, Ah&dotbelow;mad Ibn Taymiyyah (d. 728/1328) and the Maliki, Ibrahim al-Shat&dotbelow;ibi (d. 790/1388), used bid'ah as a normative statement against any devotional act without a Prophetic precedent and thus rejected all devotional innovations. By contrast, Shafi'i jurists, such as 'Izz al-Din b. 'Abd al-Salam (d. 600/1262), Abu Shamah (d. 665/1268) and Jalal al-Din al-Suyut&dotbelow;i (d. 911/1505), used bid'ah also as a descriptive statement, meaning an act that arose after Muhammad's time. They then determined the act's legal status on the basis of its content, purpose, and agreement with existing legal rules.
520 $a The study then examines two case studies of popular devotional innovations: the Prophet's birthday festival (mawlid al-nabi) and the prayer of desirable gifts (s&dotbelow;alat al-ragha'ib ). The case studies show that juristic proponents used the category of bid'ah h&dotbelow;asanah (good innovation) to permit these practices. Moreover, each case study refines our understanding of the legal criteria that jurists used to assess devotional innovations. Juristic proponents looked both to the piety of the practice and to analogies from Muhammad's practices and teachings. That is, these jurists stretched the Prophet's sunnah to incorporate new devotional practices. The debate over devotional innovations thus reveals a subtle difference among juristic conceptions of the boundaries of devotional law.
