The Ibāḍiyya in the Context of Early Islamic Theology and Law

In 2016, the OIB published Abdulrahman al-Salimi’s edition of three Ibāḍī siyar from fourth and fifth-century Oman (eleventh and twelfth centuries CE) in its series Bibliotheca Islamica (vol. 51). This workshop wants to explore how these texts connect to what is known from the early period of the Ibāḍiyya school. Contributions also attempt to situate the Ibāḍī case in the wider context of theological and legal thinking and its articulation in different kinds of writing during the early period (2nd/ 8th century). A round-table discussion will conclude the event.

Convenors: Astrid Meier (OIB), Stefan Leder (OIB)
