Basic Approaches in the Hanafi Legal Theory (Until the Midst of the Sixth Century of the Hijra)

In this article, the development of the ？ anafī legal theory between the fourth and the midst of the sixth centuries of the Hijra, called the classical period of fiqh, will be examined and the differences in the opinions among the ？ anafī legal theory approaches will be determined. It is obvious that the scholars of both Iraq and the Transoxania were active in the formation and maturation of the ？ anafī legal theory of thinking. In the general system, despite the tendency of i‘tizal, the Iraqi Hanafi scholarship is based on the principles of the imams of the sect. Transoxanian Hanafis have two different theoretical approaches depending on the principles of Sunni faith. One of these approaches is based on the approach taken by the Iraqi method, and the other is the approach formed in the Samarkand-Māturīd？ circles separately from the Iraqi Hanaf？ method. However, this method of understanding was restored in the sixth century after a long interregnum. The first approach which maintains the understanding of the Iraq Hanafi syllabus is predominantly based on fiqh, while the Samarkand-Māturīdī sense of procedure is predominantly based on kelam (theology)
