Reviews

Medicine and Shariah fills an important and widely felt gap among Muslims. There have been numerous recent works on Islamic bioethics, but none as far as I am aware that specifically focus on the actual interaction between physicians and jurists. Aasim Padela is one of the foremost medical experts who has brought to the fore practical as well as institutional challenges that face Muslim physicians and patients. -Ovamir Anjum, author of Politics, Law, and Community in Islamic Thought
