Hanfi (حنفی)

It refers to the Sunni school of Islamic jurisprudence founded by Imam Abu Hanifa. Followers of this school are known as "Hanafis." The Hanafi school is characterized by a methodical approach to legal interpretation, using reasoning and analogy to derive Islamic legal rulings. It is one of the four major Sunni schools and is widely followed in parts of Central Asia, the Indian subcontinent, Turkey, and the Balkans. Each Sunni school, including Hanafi, provides a framework for interpreting Islamic law and addresses various aspects of daily life, encompassing rituals, ethics, and legal matters.
