Jariri


Jariri is the name given to a short-lived school of Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh) that was derived from the work of Muhammad ibn Jarir al-Tabari, the 9th and 10th-century Muslim scholar of Baghdad. Eventually, followers of the school dwindled until the Jariri school of law eventually died out.
Principles

The Jariri school was frequently in conflict with the strict Hanbali school of Ahmad Ibn Hanbal. The Jariri school was notable for its liberal attitudes toward the role of women; the Jariris for example held that women could be judges, and could lead men in prayer. Conflict was also found with the Hanafi school on the matter of juristic preference, which the Jariri school censured severely. In regard to consensus in Islamic law, the school also held the view that religiously binding consensus only included that of the first generation of Muslims and that such a consensus must be tied to an already existing scriptural text.
