| 520 | |a Les contributions d’Abū Ḥāmid al-Ġazālī (d. 505/1111) à la philosophie, à la théologie, à la logique, à la métaphysique et au soufisme ont été largement analysées. Cependant peu de chercheurs ont étudié son rôle en tant que juriste, bien qu’il soit l’auteur de dix ouvrages sur le droit šāféite, ouvrages qui ont été célébrés dans les cercles savants contemporains et ultérieurs et qui lui ont valu le titre de « second Šāfiʿī ». Dans cet article, j’examine ses deux textes de droit islamique, le Waǧīz et la Ḫulāṣa, afin d’éclairer l’histoire de la codification dans l’école šāféite. Je soutiens qu’al-Ġazālī a écrit ces textes à la suite de ses deux longs commentaires antérieurs dans lesquels il a canonisé la doctrine de l’école. Dans le Waǧīz et le Ḫulāṣa, il a tenté de normaliser la doctrine de l’école en présentant des points de vue concis, structurés et faisant autorité, et en proposant des jugements simples, discutant peu les désaccords internes. Les contributions d’al-Ġazālī au droit substantiel remettent en question les idées reçues sur les débuts de l’histoire de la codification juridique. En fait, al-Ġazālī a cherché à codifier le droit šāféite, et ses efforts ont eu une influence significative sur l’histoire et l’historiographie juridiques islamiques. | ||
| 520 | |a The contributions of Abū Ḥāmid al-Ġazālī (d. 505/1111) to philosophy, theology, logic, metaphysics, and Sufism have been widely analysed. However, few scholars have studied his role as a jurist, even though he authored ten works on Šāfiʿī law, works that were celebrated in contemporary and later scholarly circles, and earned him the title "the second al-Šāfiʿī." In this article, I examine his two texts in Islamic law, the Waǧīz and Ḫulāṣa, in an effort to shed light on the history of codification in the Šāfiʿī school. I argue that al-Ġazālī wrote these texts following upon his two earlier lengthy commentaries in which he canonised school doctrine. In the Waǧīz and Ḫulāṣa, he tried to standardise school doctrine by presenting concise, structured and authoritative views, and offering straightforward rulings with little discussion of internal disagreement. Al-Ġazālī’s contributions to substantive law challenge the prevailing wisdom on the early history of legal codification. In fact, al-Ġazālī sought to codify Šāfiʿī law, and his efforts had a significant influence on the later trajectories of Islamic law, providing a blueprint for many subsequent codifications. | ||
