Principles[]

On his accession to the position of District Head he advocated that his subjects should continue to follow the Islamic religious principles earlier set out by his paternal great-great grandfather Waliyi Abdurrahim Maiduniya who was an Imam at Kadawa,[33] during his tenure as an imam he advanced the acceptance of the Maliki School of thought in the Kano Emirate by influencing later scholars to use the principles of the Maliki school of thought instead of the other Islamic school of thoughts,[34] the Maliki school is one of the four major madhhabs of Islamic jurisprudence within Sunni Islam.[35] It was founded by Malik ibn Anas in the 8th century. The Maliki school of jurisprudence relies on the Quran and hadiths as primary sources. Unlike other Islamic fiqhs, Maliki fiqh also considers the consensus of the people of Medina to be a valid source of Islamic law, the Maliki madhhab is one of the largest groups of Sunni Muslims, comparable to the Shafi`i madhhab in adherents, but smaller than the Hanafi madhhab.[36][37] Sharia based on Maliki doctrine is predominantly found in North Africa (excluding northern and eastern Egypt), West Africa, Chad, Sudan, Kuwait, Bahrain,[38] the Emirate of Dubai (UAE), and in northeastern parts of Saudi Arabia.[36]
