Non Ahli Sunnah Sects in Islamic Law and Causes of the Emergence of Sects

Abstract

The mujtahid scholars period is about two centuries from the early days of the Abbasids until the time of the Karahanlılar. One of the features of this period is the codification of Islamic law and the establishment of sects. Major jurists who perform the codification activity are: Sufyan b. Uyeyne (Mecca), Malik b. Enes (Medina), Hasan Basri (Basra), Abu Hanifa, Sufyan-iSevri (Kufe), Evzai (Sham), Shafii, Leys b. Sa’d (Egypt), Isaac b. Rahuveyh (Nisabur), Ahmed b. Hanbal, Davud-u Zahiri and Ibn Cerir (Baghdad). Some of these sects still exist today. Since some of them are not members of the group, theoretically their views are found in the books. Keywords: mujtahid scholars, Islamic law, Sufyan b.
