Works
- Al Kitab al-Muhallā bi'l Athār (The Book Ornamented with traditions), only existing book of his legal rulings
- Ihkam Al Ahkam fi Usul al Ahkam, usul al fiqh
- Mukhtasar al-Muhalla li Ibn Hazm, an abridgment of Ibn Hazm's fiqh manual
- Ṭawq al-Ḥamāmah (The Dove's Necklace or The Ring of the Dove); In classical Arabic literary tradition, the dove represented love, or romance, while the ring refers to a necklace. In essence, it is the "necklace of love". The book is meant to adorn one's love. It is inspired by 'ishq (defined by Hakim Bey as "crazed, hopeless passion"), and treats equally of desire both for males and females, but cautions the reader against breaking religious injunctions and praises remaining chaste.
Ibn Hazm also wrote more than ten books on medicine.
A number of his works have been translated, including:
- Al-Akhlaq wa al-Siyar fi Mudawat al-Nufus (Morals and Right Conduct in the Healing of Souls")
- Maratib al-`Ulum ("The Categories of the Sciences")
- Al-Mujalla
- Al-Fisal fi al-Milal wa al-Ahwa' wa al-Nihal ("The Separator Concerning Religions, Heresies, and Sects").

“The whole idea of image is so confused. On the one hand, Madison Avenue is worried about the image of the players in a tennis tour. On the other hand, sports events are often sponsored by the makers of junk food, beer, and cigarettes. What’s the message when an athlete who works at keeping her body fit is sponsored by a sugar-filled snack that does more harm than good?”
—Martina Navratilova (b. 1956)
