A (very) theoretical analysis of Sālimī, Abū Muḥ. ʿAbdl. b. Humayyid: Badhl al-Majhūd fī Mukhālafat al-Naṣārà wa’l-Yahūd (see Mashriq). As the author puts it, he tried to show the interaction between language and the social context within which language is used, or, in other words, to show the link of language and rhetorics with the social structure of Omani society at the time al-Sālimī wrote this work.

This paper depicts social and cultural life in Zanzibar early 20th century, with special emphasis on the important role played by the Shāfiʿī Qāḍīs Aḥmad b. Abī Bakr b. Sumayṭ (1861-1925), Burhān b. ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz al-Amawī (1861-1935) and Ṭāhir b. Abī Bakr al-Amawī (1877-1938), and the Ibāḍī Qāḍī ʿAlī b. Muḥ. al-Mundhirī (1866-1925). A description of the Zanzibar legal system at the time is given, and questions like Waqf regulations, religious instruction and the language question (Swahili-Arabic) are treated.

In this article three cases before the Sultan’s Court for Zanzibar and Pemba are presented over inheritance involving the possession of shambas, farms and farmhouses in the agricultural areas (from the Zanzibar National Archive, files HC8/1-140). For the Ibāḍiyya, the main legal text was K. al-Nīl wa-Shifā’ al-ʿAlīl of ʿAbd al-ʿAzīz b. Ibr. al-Muṣʿabī al-Thamīnī (1130-1223/1718-1808). To this, the most frequently used commentary was Sharḥ al-Nīl by Muḥ. b. Yūsuf Iṭfayyish (1260-1332/1820-1914). Another much used work on Ibāḍī inheritance law was the Mukhtaṣar by the Omani author Abū ‘l-Ḥasan ʿAlī b. Muḥ. al-Bisyawī. Pp. 8-9: information on the Ibāḍī Qāḍī ʿAlī b. Muḥ. al-Mundhirī (1866-1925).

Francesca, E. (1999). From the individualism to the community’s power: the economic implications of the Wilāya/Barā’a dynamic among the Ibāḍīs. Annali Dell’Istituto Universitario Orientale Di Napoli, 59(1), 69–77. Fonds Martin Custers.

At the end of the article, p. 75: among the Mozabites, Wilāya and Barā’a represent a religious transformation of tribal politics. The notables’ authority could not exist without a social structure founded in the clan. Each clan designates its representatives in the Jamāʿa and its notables, who direct the group’s business, form a restricted assembly which meets in the presence of one of the members of the Ḥalqa (Bourdieu 1962, 41-42). This connection between religious solidarity and agnatic groups’ power assures that community ties remain very strong even among emigrants. Particularism and individualism are banished and each Ibāḍī has a strong feeling of belonging to “the chosen people”, distinguished by their rigor and intransigence. In terms of organization of entrepreneurial activity, the solidarity existing among the Mozabites is converted into commercial cooperation. The business establishments in the Tell are generally the property of the family group, and in most cases the employees are members of the owner’s family or else come from the same clan or city. This family organization of the business enterprise, thanks to the very limited costs, allows the Mozabites to sell at competitive prices. Moreover, mutual aid is praticed in every possible occasion (Bourdieu 1962, 48; Chabert 1961, 348). In this way, fidelity to the traditional social structure, far from being an obstacle to their competitiveness in the capitalistic system, rather favours it and makes it easier.
