Paper Summary:

The paper explains the Hanafi school of law and how its creation is the basis for Islamic family law. The paper discusses the central philosophy of the Hanafi school and Islamic law and examines the changes in the law due to modern legislation.

From the Paper:

"Hanafi Law founded in eighth-century Iraq by students of Abu Hanifa focused on the Koranic foundations of public and private interrelationships and how those relationships should be regulated. The central philosophy of the Hanafi school was that human reason should be used to interpret the word of God and Hanafi writings drew their authority from the opinions of Islamic jurists as well as from varied local practice, thereby forming the basis for an incipient legal code."
