Autobot what the fake is fit some of the Arabs read it as [ __ ] but the Hutt's I disagree with their pronunciation they actually do say that you're gonna hear some of the folk AHA like some of the scholars they like really big beards and everything and in between there let's go you know the [ __ ] the football you'll be like oh ma che no no need for that language mate I only asked an Islamic question no need for that
but they actually pronounce it [ __ ] some of the the Arabs today today as in in this day and age so not but in traditional thick it's called thick with a kisara okay not with a dama dama sorry so the [ __ ] right what is fit so v is basically our understanding of Islam sorry let me rephrase that it's our understanding of what is kind of
expected from us okay towards God or towards people so that is called [ __ ] some it is partially synonymous with Sharia so Sharia people tend to reserved only for the legal aspects and that is more generic so it includes the legal as and non-legal like worship and other things as well so firk is you know this is a MooMoo
sauce that's the relationship that's going on between sherry alpha so thick and then within fact you have different ways of looking at things that interpreting extracting Islamic law how do we understand rulings and everybody you know they've got their own take on it and then people kind of disappeared and these four major schools of law remained I say four because I'm being kind to the humble ease did let's make that the humble ease the the little finger there you go the humbly right there that's that's
about right now before because that's like the humbly contribution to Islamic fit so now I'm being fair right so that's like obviously the the tour list is like the Maliki method but I don't want to put if up if I bring these fingers down this one get offensive you know this one up nice so that's me representing the schools of islamic law there's our little [ __ ] midget' mess
up humbly madam is like a [ __ ] mother so you've got these so you got the hanafis you got the Maliki school you got the chef for a school and you got the humbly school down there so these are the ones that have carried on I mean there were so many schools of law you know in the tens if not one could argue in the hundreds but so this is what's continued the school the Maliki method is known as the school of Medina it is the most awesome school of law
there ever is because it is built upon welfare and firmly rooted in evidence it is known as the school of Medina people the school of em there you go em school of Madinah right now somebody said why are my my lucky I never chose the my lucky mother the my lucky meth have chose me a la the school of Modena chose me people now it's just because it made it made so much sense to to follow the school of
Modena what are the schooled in Modena hi hi hi hi look at the child people the chai so those of you that and you can follow any school of law most Asians indo-pak people happen to be Hanafy as was i as in growing up and but then you know you come to your senses now to be fair imam abu hanifa was an absolute legend but the problem is his school if
i'm to be fair in my assessment his school has been long hijacked and his school is the antithesis of him it's such a control freak school today everybody like you know if you've got like control freak kind of like a like a syndrome you suffer from that then the hand of you mother makes sense for you so it's all about just controlling control I have the control the control so that's what the that's what these methods are and the Maliki method is obviously the super cool method people
it's the one that ruled Muslim Spain as well I mean it was one of the most widespread methods throughout the world much more diverse than any other school of law including the Hanafi school so as in its diasporic okay the way it was kind of spread out the school was in all of the different continents and it was also something that was the major content and it was also it wasn't just these in people were Maliki so Muslims in in
Spain for seven hundred years at least were probably Maliki now it wasn't just that they were Maliki but they were key figures they will keep players not not allow Slayers here probably those players as well but they were but they were key players in the matter so they contributed they were never shunned by each other so the school became a really rich resourceful school right so let's move on to another question
