The question of external influences on Islamic law arises in particular with reference to the time it first emerged and to the reform movements of the last two centuries. During its formative phase Islamic jurisprudence drew on various sources, creating an impressive and quite independent legal system whose origins are in many cases not visible anymore. The reform movements, which started in the 18th century, were due on the one hand to external impulses from Europe, but could on the other hand also draw on native traditions. Modern Islamic law, however, which developed during the 19th and 20th centuries, still faces a struggle to this day when it comes to its legitimation, precisely because of Western influences.
