Schools of law
Why are there four Sunni schools of law?
Answer
They are the four early legal traditions — Ḥanafī, Mālikī, Shāfiʿī and Ḥanbalī — whose methods of deriving rulings from Quran and Sunnah were preserved and taught in an unbroken chain. Their differences concern method and evidence weighting, not the foundations of belief.
