Summary
This chapter follows the process by which Muslim scholars introduced the innovative Umayyad practice of blood-money payment into the Shari‘a. It focuses on the literature of the Ḥanafī school, the only school that incorporated the Umayyad regulation, and reveals how the Ḥanafīs Islamized the Umayyad practice by attributing it to weighty religious authorities from the past, particularly to the second caliph ʿUmar b. al-Khaṭṭāb. The chapter offers a close examination of the arguments and the ḥadīths that served to substantiate the transformation of the Umayyad practice into a Sharʿi rule.
