Talk:Shafi`i
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oy! Is there some reason people took out the ˤayns in Šāfiˤī and replaced them with glottal stops (alifs)? Seems silly to have it spelled wrong, especially when the ˤayns are so readily available. em zilch 22:34, 12 February 2006 (UTC)
Hi there
Regarding this paragraph:
The Shāfi‘ī school is considered one of the more conservative of the four schools of Islamic jurisprudence, but there are many adherents of the Shāfi‘ī tradition who maintain liberal views in practicing their religion.
It is not quite true, Shafites are not one of the more conservatives of the four schools of Islam. Indeed they are the most liberal ones.

[edit] Lead
The lead of this article should be expanded so those interested in just quickly learning about the most basic information don't have to read through the whole article. Just summarise the main article into two or three paragraphs. see WP:LEAD. Merbabu 12:53, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Doubtful propaganda might need to be removed
The paragraphs implying that the other schools somehow also believe that Shafi`i is the best madhhab sound a bit too propaganda-ish. It might be a good idea for a muslim with more knowledge of these things to review those statements. -- 18:06, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
[edit] For Non-Muslims
The history and philosophy of the Shafi'i Madhab is very interesting and important but this article seems to be very short of practical examples. As a non-muslim myself I would be interested to read about the practical day to day difference between the Shafi'i Madhab and any of the other 3 Sunni Madhab. For instance a friend of mine told me that there are different rules of prayer to be observed for each Madhab? If this is true I think this is the sort of information that would be good in this article. Ryan Albrey (talk) 03:11, 27 December 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Map blocks text
Is it possible to format the map so that it doesn't out any of the article? David Cheater (talk) 18:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)
