Shia and Ibadi Jurists gathers the scholars of the non-Sunni Islamic legal traditions represented in this subcategory: the Twelver, Ja'fari, school followed across Iran, Iraq and much of Shia Islam, the Ismaili and Zaydi Shia legal traditions, and the Ibadi school that survives chiefly in Oman and parts of North and East Africa. Each of these traditions developed its own distinct methodology of legal reasoning and chain of scholarly authority, separate from the four Sunni schools grouped elsewhere in this subcategory.
