<p><b>Sufism through the eyes of a legal scholar</b><br/>In <i>The Requirements of the Sufi Path</i>, the renowned North African historian and jurist Ibn Khaldun applies his analytical powers to Sufism, which he deems a <i>bona fide</i> form of Islamic piety. Ibn Khaldun is widely known for his groundbreaking work as a sociologist and historian, in particular for the <i>Muqaddimah</i>, the introduction to his massive universal history. In <i>The Requirements of the Sufi Path,</i> he writes from the perspective of an Islamic jurist and legal scholar.

In doing so, he relies on the works of influential Sufi scholars, including al-Qushayri, al-Ghazali, and Ibn al-Kha?ib. Even as Ibn Khaldun warns of the extremes to which some Sufis go¿including practicing magic¿his work is essentially a legal opinion, a fatwa, asserting the inherent validity of the Sufi path.<b
