Publisher's Synopsis
Sunni Islam, a major branch of Islam, boasts a rich and complex legal tradition rooted in the Quran and the Sunnah, the prophetic tradition. The development of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) has been shaped by generations of scholars who interpreted and applied these primary sources to the ever-changing circumstances of human life. This book focuses on seven influential figures whose contributions have profoundly shaped the landscape of Sunni jurisprudence.
