Abstract: The Abbasid period was a period of growth, strengthening and maturation of thought, the spread of
scientific studies and the emergence of an absolute mujtahid (mujtahid muthlaq) and the birth of the various
schools of law, especially the four Sunni schools of law, namely Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i and Hanbali. Political
legitimacy and the liveliness of his students are the main factors that led to the four schools still exist until now.
