The Evolution of Fiqh: Islamic LAW and The Madh-Habs

This book traces how Islamic law developed from the time of the Prophet Muhammad SAW through the formation of the four major Sunni madh-habs — Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali.

It explains the historical circumstances and scholarly methodologies that shaped each school, and addresses common questions about following a madh-hab today. Written in an accessible style for the general reader, it offers a clear introduction for students seeking to understand the origins and evolution of Islamic jurisprudence, from the earliest generations of jurists to the settled schools of law known today.
