Zahiri
The Ẓāhirī school (Arabic: الزَاهِرائ, romanized: az-Ẓāhira), or Zahirism, is a Sunni madhab (school of Islamic jurisprudence),that was founded in the 9th century by Dawud al-Ẓahiri, a Muslim scholar, jurist, and theologian of the Islamic Golden Age. The school persisted due to the works of the Andalusian scholar Ibn Hazm, though only a few of his works still survive.
It is characterized by strict adherence to literalism and reliance on the outward (zahir) meaning of expressions in the Qur'an and the hadith; the consensus (ijma) of the first generation of the Prophet Muhammad's closest companions (ṣahaba) for sources of Islamic law (sharia); and the rejection of analogical deduction (qiyas) and societal custom or knowledge (urf), which is used by other schools of Islamic jurisprudence. However, there is a Zahiri branch which rejects Ibn Hazm's approach, usually choosing to accept a degree of qiyas instead.
