Question

Which of the following is not a school of Muslim Law?

A.

Hanafi

B.

Maliki

C.

Hanbali

D.

Zaida

Correct option is D


The recognized schools of Sunni Muslim Law are:
1. Hanafi – Founded by Imam Abu Hanifa
2. Maliki – Founded by Imam Malik
3. Shafi’i – Founded by Imam Al-Shafi’i
4. Hanbali – Founded by Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal
Among Shias, the most prominent school is the Ja'fari (Twelver Shia). Zaida is not recognized as a separate school of Islamic law in this context; the term likely refers to Zaydi or is a distractor with no legal basis.
Information Booster:
· The Hanafi school is dominant in India among Sunnis.
· Muslim law in India is mostly uncodified, relying heavily on interpretations from these classical schools.
· The Shia sect follows different jurisprudential interpretations.
