Hanafi jurisprudence
Hanafi jurisprudence is one of the four main schools of Islamic law, developed by the scholar Imam Abu Hanifa. It emphasizes reasoning and analogy (qiyas) alongside the Quran and Sunnah to derive legal rulings. Known for its flexibility and broad methodological approach, it allows for context and circumstance in decision-making. Predominant in countries like Turkey, the Middle East, South Asia, and the Balkans, Hanafi law governs various aspects of life including worship, personal status, and transactions, aiming to balance divine guidance with practical consideration and societal needs.
