| Abstract (English): |
The Arab socio-political dominance of 7th-8th century AD Muslim conquerors made its way into the classical legal discourse on kafāʾa (suitable matches in marriage). Most classical jurists considered the marriage of an Arab woman to a non-Arab man to be one of several potential sources of shame to the bride and her family. This article traces how the Persian scholars of the Šāfiʿī school in Khurasan subverted Arabo-centrism in considerations of marriage by reinterpreting the legal doctrine of kafāʾa in the late 10th-11th centuries. Khurasanian Šāfiʿīs built upon but ultimately departed from the position of their colleagues in Iraq on Arab superiority: They formulated a new understanding of lineage which excluded considerations of ethnicity. The discussion of the doctrine of kafāʾa provides an example of how non-Arabs carved a place for themselves within an Islamic legal culture that originally disadvantaged them.

| Abstract (French): |
Résumé: La domination sociopolitique arabe des conquérants musulmans des VIIe et VIIIe siècles se traduisit dans le discours juridique classique sur la kafāʾa (nature convenable des partenaires dans le mariage). La plupart des juristes classiques considéraient le mariage d'une femme arabe avec un non-Arabe comme l'une des nombreuses sources potentielles de honte pour la mariée et sa famille. Cet article retrace la manière dont les érudits persans de l'école šāfiʿite du Khurasan subvertirent l'arabocentrisme dans leurs considérations sur le mariage, en réinterprétant la doctrine juridique de la kafāʾa à la fin du Xe siècle et au XIe siècle. Les šāfiʿites khurasaniens s'appuyèrent sur la position de leurs collègues irakiens concernant la supériorité arabe, mais finirent par s'en écarter, formulant une nouvelle conception du lignage excluant les considérations ethniques. La discussion sur la doctrine de la kafāʾa fournit un exemple de la manière dont les non-Arabes se sont taillé une place dans une culture juridique islamique qui les désavantageait à l'origine.
