'''Islamic ]''', '''''Fiqh''''' (in ] and ]: فقه) is made up of the rulings of ]ic jurists to direct the lives of the ] faithful. There are four Sunni schools or '']'' of ''fiqh.''

The four schools of ] Islam are each named after a classical jurist. The Sunni schools (and where they are commonly found) are the ] (] and ]), ] (], ], ], ], ], ]), ] (] and ]), and ] (]).

These four schools share most of their rulings, but differ on the particular ]s they accept as authentically given by ] and the weight they give to analogy or reason (]) in deciding difficulties.

The ] school (], ], and parts of ]) is more associated with ]. The ]s, or time and space bound rulings of early jurists, are taken rather more seriously in this school, due to the more hierarchical structure of Shia Islam, which is ruled by the ]s. But they are also more flexible, in that every jurist has considerable power to alter a decision according to his opinion.

Each school reflects a unique ] or culture, that the classical jurists themselves lived in, when rulings were made. Some suggest that the discipline of ] which developed to validate ] made it relatively easy to record and validate also the rulings of jurists, making them far easier to imitate (]) than to challenge in new contexts. The effect is, the schools have been more or less frozen for centuries, and reflect a culture that simply no longer exists.

Early ] had a much more flexible character, and many modern Muslim scholars believe that it should be renewed, and that the classical jurists should lose their special status. This would require formulating a new fiqh suitable for the modern world, e.g. as proposed by advocates of the ], and would deal with the modern context.

This ] is opposed by most conservative ].
