It also deals with the internal structure and operation of the madhhab, as the sole repository of legal authority., Finally, the book includes a discussion of the limits of law and the legal process, the former imposing limits on the legal jurisdiction of the jurists and schools, the latter imposing limits on the executive authority of the state.
