Hanbali fiqh

Hanbali fiqh is one of the four main schools of Islamic law, emphasizing strict adherence to the Quran and Hadith, the sayings of the Prophet Muhammad. It advocates for original texts over personal reasoning and tends to be conservative, prioritizing traditional interpretations. Founded by Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal, it influences legal and religious practices primarily in parts of the Middle East and North Africa. Hanbali jurists aim for clarity and consistency in applying Islamic principles, balancing divine guidance with practical legal rulings to govern aspects of daily life, worship, and social conduct.
