https://doi.org/10.22311/2074-1529-2024-20-3-111-130
Abstract
The article is devoted to the methodology of fatwa- making in the Hanafi school of Fiqh. The rules of fatwa derivation, the main works of the Hanafi madhhab and special terms used by Hanafi scholars are considered. The study showed that the process of fatwa derivation is systematic and consistent, thanks to the methods developed by the Hanafi s, which allow the Mufti to navigate the vast legacy of Hanafi legal thought.
