    1 min read

    The Shafi’i (Arabic: شافعي‎‎) Madhhab is one of the four Sunni schools of Islamic law. It was founded by Imam al-Shafi’i رحمة الله عليه, a pupil of Imam Malik ibn Anas رحمة الله عليه. It is one of the largest Sunni schools of thought, comparable to the Maliki Madhhab in number of adherents, but smaller than the Hanafi Madhhab.
