Digest of Moohummudan Law: on the subjects to which it is usually applied by British courts of justice in India

Digest of Moohummudan Law, Part 1 by Neil B.E. Baillie is a comprehensive English translation and compilation of Islamic legal principles, primarily from the Hanafi school. It focuses on subjects commonly addressed in British Indian courts, such as marriage, divorce, inheritance, and contracts. The work aimed to assist colonial judges in applying Muslim personal law accurately within the British legal system. Baillie's digest served as a crucial reference for understanding and adjudicating Islamic law during the British administration in India.
