Abstract

In this paper, I attempt to show that Sufism, with respect to Islamic law, assays to envision a legal interpretation, drawing on the hermeneutic principle of application as well as on the teleological interpretation of law. My contention is that Abū Iṣḥāq al-Shāṭibī (d. 1388) and Abū’l-’Abbās Aḥmad Zarrūq (d. 1493), the Mālikī scholars I treat in this study, accentuate the legal hermeneutic aspect of Sufism/sharī’a link. Thus, they rendered deliberative views on how Sufism and law interlace as legal interpretations. By the same token, they recognised a necessary co-existence, and thus pluralist, approach to legal matters.
