Abstract EN
The research can be considered in the framework of legal and political anthropology and the study topic centres around the effects of an alliance between Saudi ‘ulamā’ (the religious scholars) and ’umarā’ (the political leaders) in contemporary Saudi Arabia.
The objective of paper is to investigate to what extend the Wahhabī interpreted religious discourses are used to shape the political atmosphere of todays’ Kingdom.
The paper will explain in more detail the continuing relationship between the ’ulamā’ and ’umarā’ in the light of the Wahhābī doctrine of siyāsa shar‘iyya (a fundamental legal doctrine that establishes the relationship between the regime and its subjects in an Islamic state), while focusing on the historical ebbs and flows between the ’ulamā’ and ’umarā’.
