Abstract

The aim of this article is to stress the need of understanding legal concepts and terminology of Islamic law in their historical context. When studying the question of “blasphemy law” in relation to the classical sources, the question of how modern terminology of Islamic law corresponds to the original classical sources will also be examined. Some examples and sources of misunderstanding of classical legal concepts are presented in this introduction in order to shed light on the problem of “translating” legal categories of classical Islamic Law.
