Madh'hab

From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Madhhab (Arabic مذهب [mæðhæb] pl. مذاهب [mæðæːhıb]) is an Islamic school of law, or fiqh (religious jurisprudence). There are four sub-groups (Madh'hab)s within Sunni Islam; Maliki, Hanafi, Hanbali, and Shafi'i. Unlike Sunnis, Shias, and Ibadis, non-denominational Muslims are not affiliated with any school of thought (madhhab).[1][2][3]
