“Hisba” as a book category encompasses classical and modern works on the Islamic institution of public oversight—enjoining right and forbidding wrong—centered on the muhtasib, the official who supervised markets and public conduct. These texts include medieval manuals detailing regulation of trade, weights and measures, quality control, guilds, pricing, fraud prevention, sanitation, and urban order, alongside legal-theoretical discussions of the scope and limits of communal accountability. Contemporary titles often analyze hisba’s historical development, its ethical foundations, and its parallels with modern consumer protection, administrative law, and municipal governance. As a genre, Hisba literature bridges Islamic law, social ethics, economic regulation, and public administration across diverse periods and regions.
