| Sumario: | 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. |
