Ebook: Dhimma im Kontext des zaiditischen Jemen: Imam Yaḥyā Ḥamīd al-Dīn (1869-1948), die Juden:Jüdinnen von Sanaa und die Aushandlung islamrechtlich legitimierter Regierungsführung

This book analyzes the relationship between the Yemeni king Imam Yaḥyā Ḥamīd al-Dīn and the Jews of Sanaa from the perspective of Islamic law. It sheds light on both Imam Yaya's dhimma policies and the agency of Jews as dhimmis. For the first time, it combines Jewish memorial literature and Yemeni historiography from the 20th century with texts of Zaydi law (fiqh) from the 14th-19th century, some of which are still fundamental today.
