Madhab (Shafi'i)

The Shafi'i Madhab is one of the four main schools of Islamic law within Sunni Islam, founded by Imam Al-Shafi'i. It offers a systematic approach to interpreting the Quran and Hadith (sayings of the Prophet Muhammad) to determine religious practices and legal rulings. The Shafi'i school emphasizes the importance of the Hadith and consensus among scholars, balancing reason with tradition. It provides detailed methods for applying Islamic principles to daily life, guiding issues like prayer, fasting, and business conduct. As a well-established legal framework, it fosters consistency and clarity in religious practice for its followers.
