Malikite jurisprudence

Malikite jurisprudence is a school of Islamic law that follows the teachings of Imam Malik, emphasizing the practices of the people of Medina as a primary source. It combines the Quran and Hadith with consensus and local customs, giving weight to how communities traditionally interpret Islamic principles. This approach values established social practices and emphasizes those that promote community stability and moral conduct. Malikite law is prominent in North and West Africa and places importance on practicality, tradition, and reasoned judgment when applying Islamic principles to daily life.
