While this article is mostly about contemporary state control of Islam, it does contain the following quote which might reflect on a popular/mixed version of Islamic law in the region:

The preferred alternative preached by Jumanov and other state clerics is the region's traditional Hanafi School of Islamic Law -- considered by some to be the most liberal of the four schools of Sunni Islam (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, Hanbali) -- mixed with Naqshbandi Sufism, a mystic order whose founder, Baha-ud-Din Naqshband Bukhari, came from Central Asia.

Poliakov, Sergei P. and Martha Brill Olcott. Everyday Islam: Religion and Tradition in Rural Central Asia. Armonk, NY: M.E. Sharpe, 1992.

This book is the work of Poliakov based on his more than thirty years of field research in Soviet Central Asia.  Oclott merely provides editing and an introduction.  According to Olcott, Poliakov believes that Central Asian traditionalism ("Everyday Islam") needs to be reformed.  In the chapter on religion, Poliakov discusses madrasas, mosques, otins, mazar/shrine visits, mazar/Sufi sheikhs, official and unofficial mullahs, SADUM, the mahalla, and other topics.

Privratsky, Bruce G. Muslim Turkistan: Kazak Religion and Collective Memory. Richmond UK: Curzon, 2001.

Privratsky's book is a good ethnographic survey of contemporary Islamic practice among Kazakhs in Turkistan, Kazakhstan. It discusses, among other things, Sufism, lines of ancestry traced to the first century of Islam, observance (or non-observance) of the five pillars of Islam, shrine visitations like that of the Yasawi Mausoleum, veneration of ancestors, and healing arts. There are interesting discussions about pre-Islamic influences of contemporary religious practices and what are true Islamic practices.

Polonskaya, Ludmila and Alexei Malashenko. Islam in Central Asia. Reading: Ithaca Press, 1994.

This book summarizes the pre-Tzarist, Tzarist, Soviet, and post-Soviet history of Islam in Central Asia. It argues that the Bolsheviks in Soviet times were not able to abolish Islam as it merely went underground. It uses many Russian sources that may not be easily accessible and mentions early Moslem reformers in the region and compares them to reformers in other Muslim countries like Egypt. It's main draw-back is that it is not current. For example, the authors speculate that Islamic fundamentalism would have greater political power in Central Asia than it has had in the 15 years since the book's publication. 

Contents: Islam and Central Asia before the Russian conquest; Islam in Central Asia from the period of colonisation to the 1917 Revolution; Islam and Moslems of Central Asia under the communist regime; The first steps of Islamic renaissance; Islam and politics; New Moslem Central Asian States and Russia.  Descriptors: 1990s, book, history, M, overview, P, post-Soviet, pre-Tsarist, Soviet, Tsarist.
