What is a Madhhab?

Many modern Muslims view the Islamic legal tradition as needing a complete overhaul with many among them calling to bypass the madhhabs in favor of the Qur’an and Sunnah. This approach is based on the incorrect assumption that the maddhabs are not evidence-based but simply the guesswork or opinions of a few jurists. This paper on Exploring the Role of Islamic Schools of Law will explain what the madhhabs are, how they emerged and what their function is in Islamic law. Learn about the importance of the madhhabs and their relationship with the Qur’an and Sunnah.Note: The audio files are generated using AI technology.
