https://doi.org/10.22311/2074-1529-2023-19-1-87-104
Abstract
This publication is devoted to the consideration of the main concepts of Islamic theology such as the “territory of Islam” (dar al-Islam) and the “territory of war” (dar al-harb), which was developed in the works of Fiqh scholars. The author studies semantic development of this concept on the example of a number of modern Muslim scholars and theologians’ points of view, and their position regarding the related Shari‘a norms.
