Maddhab |
 | | Maddhab (مذهب) is an Islamic term that refers to a school of thought or religious jurisprudence (fiqh) within Sunni Islam. |
 | | Each of the Sahabbis had a unique school of jurisprudence, but these schools were gradually consolidated or discarded so that there are currently four recognized schools: Maliki, Hanafi, Shafi'i, Hanbali. |
 | | Sunnis believe that all four schools have the 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. |
