The article aims at illustrating the “interpretative viability” of the Ottoman Family Code of 1917—i.e., its susceptibility to changing interpretations—and to discuss some of the interpretative tools that qāḍīs have applied to it over the years. By tracing the changing implementation of Article 130 of this law (nizāʿ wa-shiqāq) by sharīʿa courts in Palestine/Israel over a period of one hundred years (1917–2017), the article shows that the codification of the sharīʿa did not produce a closed, immutable, monolithic legal system, but rather has provided qāḍīs with considerable interpretative freedom—much more than is commonly assumed. Moreover, the hermeneutic tools employed by qāḍīs to interpret the code build on earlier, pre-codification sources of pluralism and interpretative freedom within the sharīʿa. Thus, by highlighting the continuities between pre-codified and post-codified sharīʿa, the article aims at contributing to the debate concerning the transformation of the sharīʿa in modern times.

一部年轻一百年的法律:奥斯曼家庭法在巴勒斯坦/以色列的解释可行性,​​1917-2017

本文旨在说明 1917 年奥斯曼家庭法典的“解释可行性”——即它对不断变化的解释的敏感性——并讨论 qāḍī 多年来应用于它的一些解释工具。通过追踪该法第 130 条的变化实施情况(nizāʿ wa-shiqāq) 由巴勒斯坦/以色列的伊斯兰教法法院在一百年的时间里 (1917–2017),文章表明,伊斯兰教法的编纂并没有产生封闭的、一成不变的、单一的法律体系,而是为 qāḍīs 提供了相当多的解释自由——比通常假设的要多得多。此外,qāḍīs 用来解释代码的解释学工具建立在 sharīʿa 中较早的、预编码的多元主义和解释自由的来源之上。因此,通过强调编纂前和编纂后的伊斯兰教法之间的连续性,本文旨在为有关现代伊斯兰教法转型的辩论做出贡献。
