There are four schools or madhhab of fiqh. The four schools of Sunni Islam are the Shafi'i, Hanafi, Maliki, and Hanbali. These four schools share most of their rulings (80%?) but differ on the particular hadiths they accept as authentically given by Muhammad and the weight they give to analogy or reason in deciding difficulties.
