Hanafi

Hanafi refers to one of the four main schools of thought in Sunni Islam. Founded by Imam Abu Hanifa in the 8th century, it emphasizes reasoning and consensus alongside traditional sources like the Quran and Hadith. Noted for its flexibility, the Hanafi school offers broader interpretations of Islamic law, making it particularly influential in South Asia, the Balkans, and parts of the Middle East. Its followers often appreciate its adaptability to diverse social and cultural contexts, fostering a pragmatic approach to spirituality and legal matters within the Muslim community.
