Ahmed Fekry Ibrahim
Professor Ahmed Fekry Ibrahim began his appointment at the Institute of Islamic Studies on August 1, 2012, following his appointment as Fellow in Europe in the Middle East鈥擳he Middle East in Europe (EUME) program at the Forum Transregionale Studien of the Wissenschaftskolleg in Berlin, Germany in 2011-2012. He received his PhD in Islamic law from Georgetown University, Washington D.C. (2011). His dissertation, entitled 鈥淪chool Boundaries and Social Utility in Islamic Law: The Theory and Practice of听Talf墨q听and听Tatabbu士 al-Rukha峁Ｌ�in Egypt鈥�, traces the pragmatic use of Sunni legal pluralism in 20th-century Egypt to developments that took place in the Mamluk and Ottoman periods in court practice and legal theory.
His work explores the interaction between legal theory and court practice using both Ottoman archival materials and unpublished legal theoretical manuscripts. He links shifts in juristic discourse on the issue of pragmatic eclecticism to institutional as well as discursive changes that took place around the 13th century. He is currently working on a book that examines the interaction between court practice and legal theory in Egypt with regards to this question of legal pluralism and its implications for legal change.
