It also analyses individual strategies, external to religio-legal discourse, through which Muslims mitigate conflicts between interpretations of shariʿa and everyday life.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAmong the issues discussed in the book are financial transactions, education, the workplace, sports, electoral participation, Christmas greetings, proselytizing, and the legitimacy of choosing to live in a non-Muslim country. Shifting the focus from the authors and texts of fatwas to their recipients, \u003ci\u003eShariʿa and Life\u003c\/i\u003e gives voice to those often left voiceless and demonstrates the great discretion and flexibility with which tensions between shariʿa and life are resolved.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eList of Illustrations and Tables\u003cbr\u003eAcknowledgments\u003cbr\u003eNote on Transliteration\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction\u003cbr\u003e1.
