Mālik ibn ʾAnasd. 179 AH · c. 795 CE
Rooted in the practice of the people of Madīnah as a living witness to the Sunnah and its applied fiqh.
Creed Positions
- Mālikī jurisprudence is rooted in the creed of the early Madīnan community, affirming the attributes of Allāh as transmitted in the Qurʾān and Sunnah.
- The school traditionally adhered to Ashʿarī theological positions, though with distinct emphases on transmitted creed.
- It emphasises the testimony of the continuous practice of Madīnah as evidence of the authentic transmitted teaching.
