TitleSunnah
DetailsTraditional law, the name of a compilation of the sayings and practices of Muhammad, made about a hundred years after his death, to supplement the Koran when that was found insufficient to regulate the affairs of the then greatly extended empire. The sunnah is invested with the force of law and some of the authority of inspiration. [P Ramanatha Aiyer’s The Law Lexicon]
