Fatwa #1027 August 2000Pakistan

What are, broadly, the main differences between the Malikis and the Hanbalis?

Answer

The differences between the four famous Jurists Imaam Abu Hanifa, Shaaf'ee, Maaliki and Hanbaliy stem from their differences on principles. The basic
principle according to Imaam Maaliki is to prefer Amal-e-Madinah, that is the practices of the people of Madina Munawwarah.

However, that principle is not adopted by Imaam Ahmad ibn Hanbal.
