Abstract

The doctrine of bay‘ah was introduced by the Prophet and had its application in the era of the rightly guided caliphs. From the practices of the first four caliphs, the Muslim jurists developed their theories of bay‘ah. Analysing the practices and perspectives of the fuqahā’ provides an in-depth understanding of the nature of bayʿah, its significance in Muslim social and political thought and its evolution over the years.
