الثابت والمتغير في الشريعة الإسلامية

الثابت والمتغير في الشريعة الإسلامية

Shouman sets out the classical split: fixed rulings (the pillars of worship, the prohibited capital and property crimes) that do not change, and branch rulings with no decisive text, where the verdict may change with time, place, circumstance and person. He notes that some branch rulings rest on texts open to more than one reading, and that modern questions such as cloning and organ transplant are not addressed by texts at all.
