Sharia Law, the State & Modernity’s Moral Predicament | Wael Hallaq

Renowned professor of ethics, law and political thought and leading scholar of Islamic Legal Studies, Dr Wael Hallaq, joins us on this episode of the afikra podcast to discuss Sharia law, the modern state, Legal Orientalism, and the idea of a "stateless" yet still orderly world. Dr Hallaq deals with reductionist understandings of Sharia law, critiques modernism and the modern state, and breaks down the successes and shortcomings of Edward Said's Orientalism. We discuss the concept of Legal Orientalism, delve into the advanced complexities of Sharia law, and talk about his book "The Impossible State: Islam, Politics, and Modernity's Moral Predicament". Finally, Dr Hallaq talks passionately about what he calls the "bankrupt realities" we're facing in the modern era and calls the very states and systems that make up our world into question. 0:00 Introduction 1:12 Most Common Misunderstandings of Sharia Law 7:27 Legal Orientalism 10:48 Different Versions of Sharia Law 20:18 The Impossible State: Islam, Politics, and Modernity's Moral Predicament 30:55 Critiquing Edward Said 35:28 The Impossibility of Building an Islamic State 39:22 A Stateless Society 46:27 Corporations, the Modern State & Colonialism 50:03 Imagining a Corporation-less World 54:38 Warning Against Modernity 1:00:00 Reimagining Modernity, Legacy of Edward Said, and Liberalism Wael B.
