Summary/Abstract: The Ibāḍiyya sect, whose formation coincided with the 1st century of Hijri, found fame as a political sect rather than jurisprudential. Underlying such an understanding lies the ties of some personalities they considered predecessors with the Kharijites. This situation prevented the Ibāḍiyya madhhab from being known as a fiqh sect. For this reason, the Ibāḍiyya sect has been studied mainly in the field of kalām due to its sect’s history and religious beliefs. This orientation has also led to the neglect of the fiqh aspect of the madhab. However, the Ibāḍiyya sect is an independent religious sect with rich jurisprudence and literature. In fact, according to the Ibāḍis, their sect is the first fiqh sect to be formed chronologically. Although, they are attributed to ʿAbdallāh b. Ibāḍ, the Ibāḍis accept Jabir b. Zayd as the founder. Until the end of the 3rd century, the Ibāḍis abstained from calling themselves Ibāḍī because they said that the fiqh sects should be attributed to their founders and that the sect’s founders were Jābir b. Zayd.
