Abstract

Abstract: Imam Shafi’ci outlined his earlier jurisprudence Trend in his Book "al-Huja," written in Baghdad. Following his departure to Egypt, and before his death, he established his final thought on jurisprudence issues in his Book entitled "al-Umm", to be known later as the New Trend. The disciples of each Trend published the Jurisprudence of the Imam. A prominent narrator of the New Trend, Imam Muzani compiled a summary of the earlier tradition of the Imam entitled “Mukhtasar al-Muzani”. The Schools of Shafi'ci Trend afterwards were established and distinguished from each other in their presentation of the Trend, namely the School of Iraqis, and School of Khorasanis, to integrate later in the Jamica School. Among the prominent pioneers of the Jamica School was Imam Jouini, who compiled "Nehayet al-Matlab,” and his Disciple Imam Ghazali, who compiled "al-Bassī", "al-Wassī", and "al-Wajīz", based on the Book of his Mentor Imam Jouini. This era was followed by a time of verifying and editing the Shafi’ci Trend in the Works of Imam al-Rafici, and Imam al-Nawawi. As for Rafici, he complied, "Fateh al-Aziz" expounding al-Wajīz of Ghazali, and "al-Muharar, drawing on al- Wajīz as well. As for al-Nawawi, he compiled "al-Rawdah fil Foruc," an abridgement of Fateh al-Aziz, and "Minhaj al-Talebīn," an abridgement of Rafici Muharar. Finally, the later generations of Shafi’ci Scholl undertook the task of establishing the Trend. Most notably among them was Imam Ramli, who compiled “Nehayet al-Muhtaj,” and Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, who compiled "Tuhfet al-Muhtaj," both of which were an explanation of Nawawi’s Minhaj.
