FIQH AND SCHOOL OF AL-AWZAI

Summary/Abstract: II/VIII. century is an important era for the formation of fiqh madhabs (schools). Many fiqh scholars from this century have been followed throughout the later centuries where they were regarded as madhab founders or imams. Some of these madhabs have survived to the present day, but some of them have disappeared over time. The madhab of Abd al-Rahman al-Awzai is one of these madhabs which have disappeared after existing in Syria and other parts of Islamic world for a long time. There are scientific, social and political reasons behind the formation, spread, weakening and disappearence of madhabs. A comparison between these ancient madhabs and the surviving madhabs will shed light on the history of fiqh and give us an opportunity to benefit from the rich fiqh treasure of solving new problems.
