I’ve been learning a bit about Islam and their legal stuff. It’s so extensive, there’s so much there and I can’t believe this wasn’t something I learned. Like you hear that algebra and algorithm get their names from Arab folks (or at least from stuff that happened during the Islamic Golden Age), and I never heard anything about their complex legal tradition. I love bureaucracy, when I read US military documents or read about Stalin’s bureaucracy, I get excited at the litany of documentation and writing I can ponder through looking for something specific.
I now hope to go to an Islamic country (Iran, Iraq, Jordan, etc.) and have the opportunity to check out their libraries and learning centres.
I’m talking about this hadith it’s just “don’t do it”, but there’s nothing enforcing you not to do it.
