A sample from this course

One topic, as StudyPath teaches it.

Pre-Islamic Arabia’s Customary Law

Pre-Islamic Arabia’s customary law refers to the unwritten rules, tribal usages, and social practices that governed life in Arabia before the coming of Islam. For examination purposes, you must understand its tribal basis, its main features such as kinship loyalty and customary dispute settlement, and why Islamic law later corrected, retained, or reformed some of these practices.
