The article deals with various legal aspects as recorded in the works by Shihabetdin Marjani, an outstanding Tatar religious philosopher and an encyclopaedic writer. Surprisingly but the legacy of such an outstanding scholar has not yet received a detailed study. Traditionally he is being seen mainly as historian whereas his legacy comprises a significant number of works on Islamic law, its history, various liturgical problems, as well as fasting and interfaith marriages. The author of the article makes an effort to fill this gap He examined the main theological works by Marjani, analyzed his views on ijtihad and taklid, the history of Islamic law, the problems of prayer and fasting, etc.
