Introduction The Hanafi School is one of the four major schools of Sunni Islamic legal reasoning and repositories of positive law. It was built upon the teachings of Abu Hanifa (d. 767), a merchant who studied and taught in Kufa, Iraq, and who is reported to have left behind one major work, Al-Fiqh al-Akbar.Two of Abu Hanifa's disciples, Abu Yusuf (d. 798) and al-Shaybani (d. 805), compiled
schools such as the four schools of Islamic law, winning superiority over regional sc hools, such as the K ufan or Medinese schools. Thus jurisprudents were no longer identified as being from a 7obeh.
