Only THE most controversial topic in Islam - more scholars that look at this, the better.
The very purpose of the Ijtihaad of a mujtahid is that it should be followed, so i'm removing the silly comment about "who had no idea..."HussaynKhariq 19:17, 18 Dec 2004 (UTC)
This article was moved without any discussion byTimothy Usher. Even ignoring that Timothy has a done this before, the move is unacceptable. We leave articles with their correct names. The example I used was that Jewish Law redirects toHalakha, but of course there are many other articles like that. There is no rule that says we have to accept the translation of the name. Fiqh is the correct and appropriate name for the concept, not Islamic Jurisprudence. So unless Timothy is willing to redirect all wikipedia pages to their rough translations and not just targetting the Islamic ones whenever he finds the chance, he should stop making arbitrary moves. --a.n.o.n.y.mt21:44, 21 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I understand the article may need editing. However, because of the side bar with the links, the placement of the need to edit banner may confuse readers to think the page is empty and not scroll down. I think for the sake of others, we should take it down but continue working. If the article needs work, I can try to help.ZaydHammoudeh06:40, 25 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
I see we are missing Zaidis - A group of Shia that is very similar to Hanafis in terms of Fiqh.
Why was thereference to Salman removed? --Striver16:40, 27 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Hi, I am not islamic, but I have come across thePrinciples of Islamic Jurisprudence article as part of my effort to resolveBacklogged maintenance. The merge proposal has been up since Jan/06 and I would like to have a discussion to resolve the matter one way or the other. Can someone answer if Fiqh is an Arabic word that has a literal English translation? Does Fiqh mean Islamic Jurisprudence?Alan.ca08:51, 21 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]
It wasrequested that this article be renamed but there was no consensus for it be moved. --Stemonitis13:30, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Since this is the english wikipedia and not the Arabic wikipedia, can we move this article to the english name?--Sefringle00:26, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Fiqh →Islamic Jurisprudence – {this is english wikipedia, not arabic wikipedia. The english name makes more sense for this article}--Sefringle02:31, 26 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Is it necessary to have "—which is based directly on the Quran and Sunna—" in the lead sentence? Thisrecent change seems to introduce a distractingPOV argument into thelede section. I'm no expert in this subject, so I'm asking if others may consider this. /edg☺☭17:40, 22 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Hey, help a law student out - and can someone, using IPA or phonetic spelling, add in how to pronounce this word in English?GautamDiscuss22:00, 29 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The pronunciation indicated in the article, "[faqɪah]", is utter nonsense. It's actually [fɪqh] or [fɪqəh]. I don't have a source; it's just what the Arabic spelling indicates. Should I correct it?--Linguistatlunch (talk)18:16, 5 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
The legal systems map contains errors or inaccuracies, e.g. in terms of Morocco, the legal system is largely Code Civil with Islamic jurisprudence only applying to family law, and that itself 'translated' into code civil. A similar situation holds in Jordan (although with Common Law influence). It's grossly inaccurate to suggest the legal system is primarily Islamic jurisprudence based, like say in Saudi Arabia.collounsbury (talk)12:35, 28 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
I removed the Quran alone line in this section, this is not a methodology of law but a sect who do not accept that any sayings of Muhammad have been preserved throughout history. This is completely rejected by prety much everyone muslim and non muslim alike. Further more there are no qualafied indaviduals in this sect, they have produced no legal works and there have never been any institutions of higher learning who teach this anywhere they number maybe in the thousands around the world and are hardely noteworthy.
This page is about Law and its methodoligies not reductionist theory by unqualafied indaviduals/laymen.

i removed the line "the Shia leader forShia Islam" this isnt an accurate representation of history, since none of these imams formed a madhhab in their own lifetimes but later generations codified their methodologies and established these schools. The imam was also not a leader in his own life time and avoided all attempts to thrust him intopositions of leadership.

Hello all! Would love to get some thoughts or advice about an edit I made recently. I self reverted it because I wanted to get community consensus. What do we think about the changes I have made below.
There are severalschools of fiqh thought (Arabic:مذهبmadhhab; pl.مذاهبmaḏāhib)
The schools ofSunni Islam are each named by students of the classical jurist who taught them. TheSunni schools (and where they are commonly found) are:
Hanbalis were previously the majority in the Arabian Peninsula, although now theSalafi movement has overtaken.[1][3][4]
TheJariri,Laythi,Awza'i,Thawri,Qurtubi andZahiri schools no longer exist.
The schools ofShia Islam comprise:
Entirely separate from both the Sunni and Shia traditions,Khawarij Islam has evolved its own distinct school.
These schools share many of their rulings, but differ on the particularhadiths they accept as authentic and the weight they give to analogy or reason (qiyas) in deciding difficulties.
The relationship between (at least the Sunni) schools of jurisprudence and the conflict between the unity of the Shariah and the diversity of the schools, was expressed by the 12th century Hanafi scholarAbu Hafs Umar al-Nasafi, who wrote: "Our school is correct with the possibility of error, and another school is in error with the possibility of being correct."[6]Completely Random Guy (talk)14:44, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The place of the Ismailis within the theological pluralism of the Muslim community is best summarised by their Imam's statement to the International Islamic Conference held in Amman in July 2005: "Our historic adherence is to the Ja'fari madhhab and other madhahib of close affinity, and it continues, under the leadership of the hereditary Ismaili Imam of the time. This adherence is in harmony also with our acceptance of Sufi principles of personal search and balance between the zahir and the spirit or the intellect which the zahir signifies."
