Imran Ahsan Khan Nyazee (عمران احسن خان نیازی; born 25 October 1945, Pakistan) is a Pakistani legal scholar.
Nyazee argues that the Shafi'i, championed by Al-Juwaynī, was accepted by Sunni schools of Islamic law but did not, however, determine their fiqh (positive doctrine or teachings).
[8] The fiqh was based on a rigid analogical, method which required casuistry to bridge the divide between theory and practice.
The mission of the jurists, especially those inclined to literal interpretation of their texts, was to develop a theory of law which would remain unchanged over the long term.
[9] Nyazee also proposes that all loans (except those of a charitable nature without a fixed period of repayment) and therefore all banking is prohibited and unIslamic.
Nyazee is equally intolerant of murabaha, the Islamic system of business where in-put costs and mark-ups are made transparent between vendor and buyer.
