Hanafi Jurisprudence is one of the four major schools of Islamic law, known as madhhabs. Founded by the scholar Abu Hanifa in the 8th century, it emphasizes reason and opinion in interpreting Islamic texts. This school is particularly known for its flexibility and adaptability to different cultural contexts. The Hanafi school is widely practiced in many countries, including Turkey, India, and parts of Central Asia. It places significant importance on the use of qiyas (analogical reasoning) and istihsan (juridical preference) to derive legal rulings, making it one of the most comprehensive and accessible schools of thought in Islamic jurisprudence.
