| Abstract
|
:
|
This dissertation examines the <i>fatwā</i>, an Islamic religious ruling and scholarly opinion on matters of Islamic law, and how <i> fatwā</i> is used as cultural, political and legal rhetoric. It illustrates how rhetoric of <i>ulamā</i> [scholars trained in Islam and Islamic law], mutakallimun [theologians], <i>muftis</i> [group of theologians or canon lawyers], <i>qadis</i> [judges], professors, and <i>Sheikh al Islam</i> [the highest-level state religious official], play a role in culture and communication in the Islamic world to gain political, social, cultural, and spiritual control.
