Methodology notes
- Verse quotations are limited to verses that are well-known and verified against the matn’s online text (source 1); other verses are referenced per chapter without verbatim quotation, to avoid miscitation.
- The “Zayd’s system” position (muqasamah, bayt al-mal, no dzawil arham, tashrik) and the muta’akhkhirin exception are marked explicitly and traced to sources 9–11.
- Rupiah figures in the case studies are illustrative constructs.
