Description
It is of great satisfaction for me that the students have appreciated and accepted this work. In this edition great emphasis has been given to remove grammatical and typing errors in the text of the book. I shall ever be grateful to the publisher who has reposed hit, faith in me for revising this book again. As the time is not static and so the law. Even the personal law should adapt according to the need of the people. This is being nicely done by our Courts in India. Keeping in view the present requirements some new aspects of different topics have been discussed in the present edition. Apart from discussing the Islamic law, efforts have been made to make clear the law as implemented by the Indian courts. This is the peculiarity of this book. The law relating to Waqf has gone tremendous changes, even the definition of 'waqf has been changed by the Wakf (Amendment) Act, 2013. A critical study of the provisions of the amended Act alongwith the case laws on waqf up to June, 2016 have been incorporated at appropriate places.
