Madh'hab

A madhhab (Arabic مذهب [mæðhæb] pl. مذاهب [mæðæːhıb]) is an Islamic school of law, or fiqh (religious jurisprudence). There are eight madhhabs in Sunni Islam: Maliki, Hanafi, Hanbali, Shafi'i, Zahiri, Jariri, Thawri, Awzai, and Laysi.

There are also non-denominational Muslims, who are not affiliated with any of those schools: other Sunnis, as well as Shias and Ibadis.
