Because fiqh scholarship spans well over a thousand years and multiple distinct schools of legal reasoning, this group is broken into a second level below it: the four surviving Sunni schools of law (Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali), the smaller Zahiri school, the Shia and Ibadi traditions, and the early formative-era jurists whose work predates or is not tied to one named school.FactsAll
