About The Book: An Introduction to the Study of Anglo-Muhammadan Law (1894) by Sir Roland Knyvet Wilson is a foundational legal text that explores the interaction between Islamic law and British colonial legal systems in India. Aimed at students and legal practitioners, the book provides an accessible overview of the principles of Muhammadan (Islamic) law, particularly in relation to marriage, inheritance, and property, as adapted under British rule. Wilson emphasizes the importance of understanding traditional Islamic jurisprudence within the context of Anglo-Indian courts. The work serves as both a legal guide and a cultural bridge, reflecting Wilson’s broader liberal commitment to legal clarity and reform.
