The Maliki school or Malikism (

Islamic jurisprudence within Sunni Islam.[1] It was founded by Malik ibn Anas in the 8th century. The Maliki school of jurisprudence relies on the Quran and hadiths as primary sources. Unlike other Islamic fiqhs, Maliki fiqh also considers the consensus of the people of Medina to be a valid source of Islamic law.[2]

The Maliki school is one of the largest groups of Sunni Muslims, comparable to the

UAE), and in northeastern parts of Saudi Arabia.[3]

In the

Mosque of Uqba of Tunisia.[8][9]

One who ascribes to the Maliki school is called a Maliki, Malikite or Malikist (

Arabic: ٱلْمَالِكِيّ, romanized
: al-mālikī, pl. ٱلْمَالِكِيَّة, al-mālikiyya).

History

Sharia based on Maliki school (in teal) is the predominant Sunni school in North Africa, West Africa and parts of central eastern Arabian peninsula.[3]

Although Malik ibn Anas was himself a native of Medina, his school faced fierce competition for followers in the Muslim east, with the

Hanafi school, however, that earned official government favor from the Abbasids
.

Imam Malik (who was a teacher of Imam

Shi'ite Imam), as with Imam Abu Hanifah. Thus all of the four great Imams of Sunni Fiqh are connected to Ja'far, whether directly or indirectly.[13]

The Malikis enjoyed considerably more success in Africa, and for a while in Spain and Sicily. Under the

Almohads, at which point Malikis were tolerated at times but lost official favor. With the Reconquista, the Iberian Peninsula was lost to the Muslims in totality.[citation needed
]

Although

Arab States of the Persian Gulf (Bahrain, Kuwait and Qatar).[16] While the majority of the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia follows Hanbali laws, the country's Eastern Province has been known as a Maliki stronghold for centuries.[3]

Although initially hostile to some mystical practices, Malikis eventually learned to coexist with Sufi customs as the latter became widespread throughout North and West Africa. Many Muslims now adhere to both Maliki law and a Sufi order.[17]

    The Maliki school's sources for

    Sahabah (the companions of Muhammad), then individual opinion from the Sahabah, Qiyas (analogy), Istislah (interest and welfare of Islam and Muslims), and finally Urf (custom of people throughout the Muslim world if it did not contradict the hierarchically higher sources of Sharia).[1]

    The Mālikī school primarily derives from the work of Malik ibn Anas, particularly the Muwatta Imam Malik, also known as Al-Muwatta. The Muwaṭṭa relies on Sahih Hadiths, includes Malik ibn Anas' commentary, but it is so complete that it is considered in Maliki school to be a sound hadith in itself.[2] Mālik included the practices of the people of Medina and where the practices are in compliance with or in variance with the hadiths reported. This is because Mālik regarded the practices of Medina (the first three generations) to be a superior proof of the "living" sunnah than isolated, although sound, hadiths. Mālik was particularly scrupulous about authenticating his sources when he did appeal to them, as well as his comparatively small collection of aḥādith, known as al-Muwaṭṭah (or, The Straight Path).[2] The example of Maliki approach in using the opinion of Sahabah were recorded in Muwatta Imam Malik per ruling of cases regarding the law of consuming Gazelle meat.[18] This tradition were used from opinion of Zubayr ibn al-Awwam.[18] Malik also included the daily practice of az-Zubayr as his source of "living sunnah" (living tradition) for his guideline to pass verdicts for various matters, in accordance of his school of though method.[19]

    .

    The second source, the Al-Mudawwana, is the collaborator work of Mālik's longtime student,

    mujtahid student, Sahnun. The Mudawwanah consists of the notes of Ibn Qāsim from his sessions of learning with Mālik and answers to legal questions raised by Saḥnūn in which Ibn Qāsim quotes from Mālik, and where no notes existed, his own legal reasoning based upon the principles he learned from Mālik. These two books, i.e. the Muwaṭṭah and Mudawwanah, along with other primary books taken from other prominent students of Mālik, would find their way into the Mukhtaṣar Khalīl
    , which would form the basis for the later Mālikī madhhab.

    The Maliki school is most closely related to the

    Hanafi school, differing in degree, not in kind.[21] However, unlike the Hanafi school, the Maliki school does not assign as much weight to analogy, but derives its rulings from pragmatism using the principles of istislah (public interest) wherever the Quran and Sahih Hadiths do not provide explicit guidance.[21]

    Notable differences from other schools

    The Maliki school differs from the other Sunni schools of law most notably in the sources it uses for derivation of rulings. Like all Sunni schools of Sharia, the Maliki school uses the

    caliphs – especially Umar
    .

    Malik bin Anas himself also accepted

    second or third generations from Medina, while analogy was only accepted as valid as a last resort when an answer was not found in other sources.[22][23]
