N2  - The author explores the concept of freedom of expression from both moral and legal perspectives within the Islamic tradition. He investigates what Islam affirms as rights to speech, criticism, association, and opinion (including ijtihād and consultation), and also outlines the ethical, theological, and legal constraints that the Shariʿah places upon these freedoms. Topics addressed include hurtful speech, defamation (qadhf), insults, blasphemy, sedition, and the attribution of disbelief (takfīr). Kamali's core argument is that Islam does allow considerable latitude for expression and dissent, but that this freedom is bounded by values intended to protect individual dignity, communal harmony, and faith.
