Brill Classics in Islam Ser.: The Ẓāhirīs : Their Doctrine and Their History. a Contribution to the History of Islamic Theology by Ignaz Goldziher (2007, Hardcover)
Ignaz Goldziher wrote his book 'Die Zahiriten' in 1883. The English translation of this standard work on Islamic jurisprudence appeared in 1971. The book has been in print ever since. This new edition in the Brill Classics in Islam series shows that The ahiris has not lost any of its actuality.The individual that adheres to the principles of madhhab al-ahir, the Islamic legal school, is called ahiri. Goldziher gives an extensive presentation of the ahirite school, its doctrine and the position of its representatives within orthodox Islam. ahirism accepts only the facts clearly revealed by sensible, rational and linguistic intuitions, controlled and corroborated by Quranic revelation. This history of Islamic theology sheds light on the ahirite legal interpretation vis- -vis other legal schools and gives an interesting insight in questions like 'are all prescriptions and prohibitions in Islamic law commanded or forbidden?'

Reviews
"Wat is surprising is how intricately [Goldziher] managed to weave a rather compelling [...] narrative despite his limited resources. Overall, as with all things Goldziher, the works remains a necessary reference for all modern Islamicists interested in the early development of Islamic law and, in particular, the Zahiri school."Yasir Qadhi in American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences , 27.2 (2010)
