The question involves religious/fiqhist normativity within a positivist legal framework. The religious/fiqhist norm, secularized in its form (positivization) is secularizable in its content by the reform. In Morocco, the reformability of inheritance is promoted by social practices of circumvention of the norm, which reflect a tendency towards non-discrimination between heirs. These practices weaken the norm socially, but not dogmatically. The fiqhist thinking, which favours the purpose of the norm over its literality, attempts to mitigate this dogmaticity. In the end, the reformability of heritage questions the ability of politicians to translate their “logic” of primacy over religion.http://journals.openedition.org/rdr/1142
