Shafi'i school

The Shafi'i school is one of the four main Sunni Islamic legal schools, founded by Imam Al-Shafi'i. It emphasizes the Quran and Hadith (sayings and actions of Prophet Muhammad) as primary sources of law, along with consensus among scholars and analogy. The school provides detailed methods for interpreting religious texts, balancing tradition with rational reasoning. It is widely followed in parts of Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. The Shafi'i approach is known for its systematic methodology and emphasis on the authentic sunnah to guide daily religious practices and legal decisions.
