The Ja'fari school is a branch of Islamic jurisprudence followed primarily by the Shia Muslims, particularly the Twelver sect. It is named after Imam Ja'far al-Sadiq, the sixth Shia Imam, who is credited with developing its foundational principles. This school emphasizes the importance of reasoning and interpretation of the Qur'an and Hadith in deriving legal rulings. Ja'fari jurisprudence covers various aspects of life, including rituals, ethics, and social issues. It differs from the Sunni schools of thought in certain legal interpretations and practices. The Ja'fari school is recognized for its flexibility and adaptability to contemporary issues faced by its followers.
