Hanbali conventions

Hanbali conventions refer to the interpretation and application of Islamic law (Sharia) within the Hanbali school, one of the four main Sunni legal traditions. Founded by Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, it emphasizes strict adherence to the Quran and Hadith (sayings of the Prophet). Hanbali jurisprudence tends to be conservative, prioritizing literal meanings of texts over analogical reasoning. It influences legal rulings, social practices, and customs in regions like parts of Saudi Arabia and Qatar. These conventions guide how laws are interpreted and applied, ensuring consistency with traditional Islamic principles.
