The fourth section describes the NTS approach to Qur’anic hermeneutics and its interpretational implications. In the third part of the article NTS’ Sunna hermeneutic is examined more closely and its interpretational implications are noted. This is done so with respect to the relative status and authenticity of various sources of legal authority in the Islamic tradition and with a special attention given to the concept of Sunna. In the second part NTS is positioned in relation to the broader Islamic tradition. The purpose of this article is to outline the delineating features of a Qur’an-Sunnah hermeneutic of one of the contemporary Muslim schools of thought, here named Neo-traditional Salafism (NTS).The first section of the article provides a brief discussion of the main representatives of NTS.

He is to be commended for this work that will no doubt spark robust debate.”-Ebrahim Moosa, Professor of Religion & Islamic Studies, Department of Religion, Duke University“At best, conceptions of the ‘ideal’ Muslim woman can be inspirational and, at worst, ideological straight-jackets for both real women and for understanding Islam. In doing so, he has not only rendered a major service to scholarship but he has also distilled the kinds of life-worlds a variety of contemporary Muslim interpreters foster. Adis Duderija has comprehensively captured some of the most recent debates in modern Islamic thought on how foundational religious texts are interpreted.
