	Madhhab - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Sunnis believe that all four schools have correct guidance, and the differences lie not in the fundamentals of faith, but instead in finer judgements and jurisprudence, which are a result of the independent reasoning of the 4 imams and the scholars who followed them.
		The prominent schools of Damascus (often named Awza'iyya), Kufa, Basra and Medina survived as the Maliki madhhab, while Iraqi schools were consolidated into the Hanafi madhhab.
		Madhhab (Arabic مذهب pl. مذاهب Madhaahib) is an Arabic term that refers to an Islamic school of thought or religious jurisprudence (fiqh).

	Islam - Encyclopedia.WorldSearch
		It is broken into four similar schools of thought (madhhabs) which interpret specific pieces of Islamic practice, such as which foods are halal (permissible), a little differently.
		The distinction here is because the schools of thought (madhhabs) are regarding "legal" aspects of Islam, the "dos" and "don'ts", whereas Sufism deals more with perfecting the aspect of sincerity of faith, and fighting one's own ego.
		Sufism is the hardest to understand by non-practitioners because on first sight it seems that sufis are either of Shi'a or Sunni denomination, but it is true that some sects of Sufism can be categorised as both Sunni and Shi'a whilst others are not from either denomination.

		The issue and importance of the Sunni schools is clarified in the article Understanding the Four Madh'habs, (link fixed 17 August 2005) by 'Abd al-Hakim Murad, a British Muslim and Professor of Islamic Studies at Cambridge.
		The four Sunni madh'habs are the Maliki, Hanafi, Sha'fi'i, and Hanbali schools.
		The Hanafi Madh'hab: My Love and My Choice is a lengthy article about the principles of the Hanafi madh'hab written by the well-known scholar Allamah Shibli Nu'mani and edited by Syed Mumtaz Ali.

	What is a Madhhab and why is it necessary to follow one?
		In a larger sense, a madhhab represents the entire school of thought of a particular mujtahid Imam, such as Abu Hanifa, Malik, Shafi'i, or Ahmad--together with many first-rank scholars that came after each of these in their respective schools, who checked their evidences and refined and upgraded their work.
		The word madhhab is derived from an Arabic word meaning "to go" or "to take as a way", and refers to a mujtahid's choice in regard to a number of interpretive possibilities in deriving the rule of Allah from the primary texts of the Qur'an and hadith on a particular question.
		The reason why madhhabs exist, the benefit of them, past, present, and future, is that they furnish thousands of sound, knowledge-based answers to Muslims questions on how to obey Allah.

	Epilogue
		I thought that a favorable attitude on his part toward this Madhhab might be a uniting point between the two sides, since most of the Shi'ites belong to the Ja'fari school.
		We should not be concerned with a view expressed in some books which claims that the four Madhhabs are the only ones to follow or that it is not permissible for a person to change from one Madhhab to another.
		The purpose of the meeting was to discuss the problem of division between the followers of the various Islamic schools whose difference, until that time, was conceived as an outstanding problem in the Muslim world.

		One of the greatest points of contention today is the validity of following one of the four Sunni juridical schools (madhhab).
		By following a madhhab, we are following the prophetic guidance more scrupulously, as we are deferring to the understanding of that guidance as it has been reﬁned by successive generations of scholars.
		This recording is highly recommended for anyone seeking to understand what a madhhab is and the importance of that institution.

	Ask-Imam.com [13545] ibn Hajar Al-Haytami and Imam Ramli. I am curious as to why the Shafis rely on these two seeing all the other major fuqaha that adhered to this madhab
		After Imam al-Shafi`i the madhhab developed, initially in Baghdad, and then, from about the middle of the 4th century (circa 350AH) in the twin schools (called tariqahs) of `Iraq (Baghdad and Basrah) and Khurasan (Marw and Nishapur).
		Had it been that there are no differences within a particular madhhab, there would not have been the need to single out certain authorities within a madhhab for the purposes of recension and authentication.
		Thus, by the end of the 7th century the fiqh legacy of the Shafi`i madhhab had undergone a complete recension.

	On the "Path of Love" Towards the Divine
		In using the term madhhab, they were returning to the root meaning of the word: As with many other words used by Sufis such as tariqa and shari'a, the literal meaning of the word madhhab is that of a trodden path.
		Madhhab had been previously used to refer to the various Islamic theological and legal schools: One could talk about the Shafi'i, Hanafi or Ash'ari madhhab [pl: Madhahib].
		The Sufis of the madhhab-i 'ishq explored this theme further, and stated that no Prophet ever suffered affliction the way Muhammad, Peace be upon him, did.

	CPAmedia.com: Osama bin Laden and the Politics of Islam in Afghanistan
		Within the Sunni tradition four madhhab, or "schools of law", all of which are adjudged equally valid, are recognised.
		The Hanbali, which is the dominant madhhab of Saudi Arabia and parts of the Arab Gulf, is very relevant indeed, however.
		The Hanafi, which predominates in Turkey, Central Asia, China, South Asia and--crucially, at the present time--Afghanistan, is the oldest and the most liberal madhhab, permitting, for example, the recitation of the Qur'an in languages other than Arabic.
