نظرية الملك في الفكر الخلدوني : بين التقعيد الفقهي و التبرير التاريخي

Abstract EN

This article deals with the issue of the succession (Caliphate) or the Keign in Ibn Khaldun's thought as a general interest of the Muslims.

Ibn Khaldun presented historical and political justifications explaining the transformation of the caliphate from Shuri's rule in the time of the “Rashed Caliphate” to a hereditary monarch based on the Crown prince, and tribalism.

This political system created by Muawiya bin Abi Sufian resulted in what can be called a political and, jurisprudential crisis through which the fuqaha 'scholars attempted to satisfy the fait accompli with the creation of legal formulas or provisions that conformed to the political requirements and the historical reality.

A model of the hereditary monarch became the norm in all Muslim countries throughout the middle ages.
