a chapter from my 2011 book: This chapter presents, in broad terms, a genealogy of the still ongoing debates over the relative status and authenticity of various sources of legal authority in the Islamic tradition. It starts with an explanation of the historical background and the evolution behind two major approaches to the Islamic tradition, namely madhhab-based and ahl-hadith based, and highlights the differences and commonalities between them. It then discusses the concept of Salafism in order to show the centrality of this concept in relation to how the Islamic tradition is conceptualised and interpreted. Finally, it situates the NTS and progressive Muslim communities of interpretation against this historical background .https://www.academia.edu/9584399/GENEOLOGY_OF_DEBATES_ON_THE_RELATIVE_STATUS_AND_THE_AUTHENTICITY_OF_THE_VARIOUS_SOURCES_OF_LEGAL_AUHORITY_IN_THE_SUNNI_ISLAMIC_TRADITION
