Oh my God Innovators Everywhere!

Maajid and his co of "progressive" "traditionalists" may have more work on there hands to purge this world from innovating islamists!

I have an interesting book in my collection by a certain Professor Abdul Karim Zaydaan who was a Professor of Islamic studies at Baghdad University. In his book Ahkaam Al'Dhimien wal Musta'maneen Fi Dar Al Islam on page 18. he is kind enough to go through the definitions of Dar Islam. After quoting people like Imam Sarkhasi and the late Abdul Wahaab Khalaaf on the differing definitions of Dar Al Islam, he has an interesting "innovating" comment.

"In reality there is no difference between the two definitions because the lands that are in the hands of the muslims will have the Ahkham of Islam applied because the muslims would not rule by any other law, and like wise for the second definition even though it is not clearly mentioned that the Dar is under the authority of muslims ( in other words the definition is talking about legislative issues, my clarification) it will be know intuitively....."

He does go later on and talk about the differences in Dar Islam becoming Dar Harb. In his eyes if the muslim lands is occupied it is still Dar Islam as long as some of the laws are applied. He does admit that view is differed on. In other words he takes the exhaustive view for Shaybani and Abu Yusuf. This is further clarified in his book Mujm3at bu7uth faqh'hea page 50-51

........and Dar Islam becomes Dar Harb with the manifestation of the rulings of Kufr i.e. the implementation of legislation (Ahkaam) that are not islamic. This is what Abu Yusuf , Muhammad bin hassan Al Shaybani and the Zaydi scholars have stated.
