Mulla principles of Mohomedan Law
Mulla, D.F
Mulla principles of Mohomedan Law - 18th ed. - Bombay N. M. Tripathi. 1982 - 424 p.
In this edition case law upto July 1976 has been included. The scheme of the book, which has made it the most successful book on Mahomedan Law for over six decades, has not been changed although the text has been corrected or changed where necessary.
A critic found fault with the transliteration of legal terms which, according to him, do not render the original Arabic correctly. Arabic legal terminology came to India through Persian and the Persian forms became current in Urdu. Dictionaries give only the Persian transliterations. See for example the Faizullughat, and the classic dictionary of Johnson. To try to go back to Arabic will savour of pedantry, at least in our country.
