A '''Madh'hab''' (مذهب) is a school of [[Islamic law]] or [[fiqh]] (Islamic jurisprudence). Within [[Sunni]] Islam there are four mainstream schools of thought, which are accepted by one another, and the [[Shiite|Shi'ite]] school of fiqh. The five major schools of Islamic law agree on many things. The various schools of Islamic law all developed as theologians and jurists debated among themselves more than a hundred years after [[Muhammad's Death|Muhammad's death]] on how to identify and interpret what Muhammad had left behind by way of oral traditions. Adherence to a school of Islamic law appears to be more a matter of geography than conscience. | A '''Madh'hab''' (مذهب) is a school of [[Islamic law]] or [[fiqh]] (Islamic jurisprudence).

Contemporary scholars, however, are adept at phrasing fatwas in such a way as to appear to criticise or condemn FGM whilst at the same time not forbidding it (see section on | All schools of Islam favour FGM, but with differing levels of enthusiasm.

Differences in interpretative hermeneutics (the theory of interpretation of texts, especially religious and philosophical texts) result in certain Hadith having more weight and influence with some schools than in others. Sunan Abu Dawud 41:5251 is an example of this: | Differences in interpretative hermeneutics (the theory of interpretation of texts, especially religious and philosophical texts) result in certain Hadith having more weight and influence with some schools than in others.
