Abstract
This article explores the relativity of Islamic normativity through the taṣwīb doctrine (kullu mujtahid muṣīb) as formulated by al-ʿAnbarī and received by al-Jāḥiẓ (d. 255/869), al-Jaṣṣāṣ (d. 370/981), and al-Baṣrī (d. 436/1044). Al-Jaṣṣāṣ reinterprets the thesis through the ḥanafī principle of ashbah bi-l-aṣl as a hermeneutical-methodological approach; al-Baṣrī elaborates it into an epistemo-logical model of normative plurality, while al-Jāḥiẓ articulates a soteriological theory of moral responsibility in the context of kalām. The analysis shows that classical Islamic legal theory developed a distinct modelof normativity that maintains binding force under conditions of pluralism and uncertainty. The article calls for renewed engagement with this tradition in contemporary debates on religious normativity and legal pluralism.
