ABSTRACT
Natural law proposes to traverse boundaries set up by unique legal epistemologies. In an attempt to do so, natural law presents an opportunity for delineating a depolarizing common ground for normally incompatible and competing legal theories. To characterize the dynamic when concepts of natural law appeared within the deliberations of legal theoreticians of the Muslim traditions, this chapter shall attempt to chart those ideas that presented in Islamic legal theories when they interacted with concepts of natural law. It shall consider at the intellectual challenges this dynamic produced and the legal theories that emerged.
