As Muslim communities continue to grow across the United States, the need for a jurisprudence that reflects both Islamic principles and the American context becomes increasingly urgent. Towards the Establishment of a Minority-Based Figh in the USA offers a visionary approach to building a fiqh for Muslims living as a minority in a pluralistic, secular society. Drawing on classical Sharia, the discipline of fiqh al-aqalliyyat (minority jurisprudence), and the unique model of Sharia courts in Israel, authors Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf and Judge lyad Zahalka explore how Islamic law can remain faithful to its sources while responding intelligently to local realities. The book introduces a new methodology Fiqh al-Aqalliyyat al-Muslima fi Amrika (FAMA), designed to empower American Muslims with legal tools that are principled, contextual, and spiritually grounded.
