The Madhaahib in Al-Ijtihaad, like the Madh’hab Ash-Shaafi’iy, Abu Hanifah and Al-Maalikiy amongst others, are schools of Fiqh that have taken the names of the A’immah Al-Mujtahideen who set down the principles and methodologies in relation to Ijtihaad for them. From amongst these Madhaahib are those which are still existing today and have followers like the four Madhaahib and the Madh’hab of Al-Imaam Ja’far. There are also those which have been blotted out and do not have followers in our current age like the Madh’hab of Sufyaan Ath-Thawri, the Madh’hab of Al-Imaam At-Tabari and the Madh’hab of Al-Imaam Al-Awzaa’i amongst others.
