ajiss-1167	Baugh, Carolyn	Imam Shafi‘i: Scholar and Saint By Kecia Ali (Oxford, UK: Oneworld, 2011. 160 pages.)	2013.0	4	.pdf	application/pdf	1546	54	51	Kecia Ali has performed a great service for Islamic studies by harmonizing early sources with the most compelling recent scholarship to produce a biog- raphy of Muhammad ibn Idris al-Shafi‘i (d. 204/820), one of Islam’s most important figures. Ali cogently describes how all of these became tools for elaborating the bayŒn, and how al-Shafi‘i took full advantage of any ambiguity in the language of revelation to widen his ability to interpret it with flexibility.	cache/ajiss-1167.pdf	txt/ajiss-1167.txt
