spelling I28-R145-2081_oai2017-10-11 Estévez, María de la Paz 2016-09-25 Islamic fatwas are legal judgments given by a specialist in law to a specific question. They are essential for the organization and regulation of the Muslim community since they solve problematic situations that may occur at various levels of the daily life. Given their importance, many of them were collected in corpus and consulted by the mufti, the jurist or faqih specialized in judicial matters. One of the most important compilations of fatwas from Muslim West was reunited by al- Wanšarīsī, the well known Kitāb al- Mi`yār. This corpus contains numerous statements concerning economic, religious, legal and marital practices made by judges from North Africa and al- Andalus, and forms a remarkable material for the study of the everyday life of the inhabitants of the region between IX and XV. The aim of this lecture will be to address those fatwas concerning conflicts that happened as a result of the coexistence between Muslims and Christians in the Iberian Peninsula, with special emphasis on those cases related with mixed marriages. Without ignoring the normative nature of this sources, and the limited information on the subject, our goal is to analyze how legal discourse constructed and judged the relations between individuals of different faiths, as well as the concepts of identity, purity and pollution of that time.  Las fetuas o fatāwà se definen como dictámenes de jurisprudencia, o resoluciones dadas a una cuestión jurídica por un especialista en fiqh. Conforman elementos esenciales para el ordenamiento y reglamentación de la vida de los musulmanes, y tienen como objetivo resolver situaciones problemáticas que puedan darse en los distintos planos de la vida diaria. Dada su relevancia, era relativamente común la reunión de fetuas en obras de jurisprudencia para consulta del muftí, el jurisconsulto o alfaquí especializado en materia judicial. Una de las compilaciones más importantes de fetuas procedentes del Occidente musulmán es la realizada por al- Wanšarīsī y conocida como Kitāb al Mi`yār. Este corpus, que contiene numerosas sentencias referidas a las prácticas económicas, religiosas, jurídicas y conyugales provenientes de jueces de África del Norte y al- Andalus, conforma un material valioso para el estudio de la vida de los habitantes de la región entre los siglos IX y XV. Nuestro objetivo será abordar aquellas fetuas referidas a los conflictos que sucedían como consecuencia de la coexistencia entre musulmanes y cristianos en el espacio andalusí, con especial énfasis en los casos que trataban cuestiones vinculadas a matrimonios mixtos. Lejos de desconocer los rasgos normativos de este tipo de documentación, y la ausencia de información sobre los resultados de los conflictos tratados, nos interesa analizar la forma en que el discurso jurídico construyó y juzgó las relaciones entre individuos de distinta fe, así como las nociones de identidad, pureza y contaminación que se desprenden de los mismos.  application/pdf http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/AcHAM/article/view/2081 spa Actas y comunicaciones del Instituto de Historia Antigua y Medieval http://revistascientificas.filo.uba.ar/index.php/AcHAM/article/view/2081/1834 Actas y comunicaciones del Instituto de Historia Antigua y Medieval; Vol. 9 (2013) 1669-7286 Fatwas; mixed marriages; law; al- Andalus Fetuas; matrimonios mixtos; ley; al- Andalus Religiuos identity and kinship in the Kitāb al- Mi'yār de al- Wanšarīsī Identidad religiosa y parentesco en el Kitāb al- Mi'yār de al- Wanšarīsī info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion http://repositoriouba.sisbi.uba.ar/gsdl/cgi-bin/library.cgi?a=d&c=medieval&d=2081_oai
