Minding their Place: Space and Religious Hierarchy in Ibn al-Qayyim’s Aḥkām ahl al-dhimma

Antonia Bosanquet's Minding Their Place Is The First Full-length Study Of Ibn Al-qayyim's (d. 751/1350) Collection Of Rulings Relating To Non-muslim Subjects, Aḥkām Ahl Al-dhimma. It Offers A Detailed Study Of The Structure, Content And Authorial Method Of The Work, Arguing That It Represents The Author's Personal Composition Rather Than A Synthesis Of Medieval Rulings, As It Has Often Been Understood. On This Basis, Antonia Bosanquet Analyses How Ibn Al-qayyim's Presentation Of Rulings In Aḥkām Ahl Al-dhimma Uses Space To Convey His View Of Religious Hierarchy. She Considers His Answer To The Question Of Whether Non-muslims Have A Place In The Abode Of Islam, How This Is Defined And How His Definition Contributes To Ibn Al-qayyim's Broader Theological World-view-- Provided By Publisher.
