Some considerations on Muslim Law concerning the Mozarabs

Although the study of the Mozarabs has given rise to a wide historiographic production, in this work are emphasized different aspects of the Muslim law concerning this group of population, named, together with the Jews, dimmies or people who enjoyed protection. These rules were based in the Koran, the Sunnah and in the agreements or pacts that had been granted them, varying some of them in the course of time in different places. These agreements fixed their rights and duties, the way in which they had to behave, especially with respect to the Muslims, under whose authority they decided to live. This study tries to deepen in the knowledge of the state and the social condition in which the Christian subjects lived under Muslim authority, as much in the Iberian Peninsula as outside, and to value if an authentic coexistence existed among Muslims and Christians.
