The Islamic Influence on Built Environment in Ancient Islamic Cities: A Descriptive-Analytic Study

Fez's Medina embodies the profound influence of Islamic legal systems on urban architecture. A study reveals that Fiqh Al-Maliki, a branch of Islamic jurisprudence, played a pivotal role in shaping the built environment of ancient Islamic cities, including Fez, by establishing a legally and systematically framed framework. This research highlights how such frameworks not only contributed to the formation of these cities but also offer potential for modern applications, such as scientific interpretation for tourist guidance. The study employed a descriptive-analytic methodology to analyze legal opinions and explore the relationship between Islamic architecture and Fiqh Al-Maliki, underscoring the historical wealth and cultural significance embedded in these ancient urban landscapes.
