Established schools
The four mainline schools of Sunni jurisprudence today, named after their founders, are not generally seen as distinct sects, as there has been harmony for the most part among their various scholars throughout Islamic history. Sunni Islam is the largest denomination of Islam. Sunni Islam is also referred to as Ahl as-Sunnah wa’l-Jamā‘h (Arabic

The majority of Sunni Muslims believe that all four schools have "correct guidance", and the differences between them lie not in the fundamentals of faith, but in finer judgements and jurisprudence, which are a result of the independent reasoning of the imams and the scholars who followed them. Fiqh ( Arabic: فقه, fɪqəh is Islamic Jurisprudence. Fiqh is an expansion of the Sharia Islamic law—based directly on the Because their individual methodologies of interpretation and extraction from the primary sources (usul) were different, they came to different judgements on particular matters. In Ottoman classical music, usul is an underlying Rhythmic cycle that complements the melodic rhythm and sometimes helps shape the overall structure of a For example, there are subtle differences in the methods of prayer among the four schools, yet the differences are not so great as to require separate prayers by the followers of each school. In fact, a follower of any school can usually pray behind an imam of another school without any confusion. An imam (إمام plural ائمة A'immah, امام is an Islamic leader often the leader of a Mosque and/or community
Generally, Sunni Muslims prefer one madhhab out of the four (normally a regional preference). Some, however, reject the four schools. Others (most notably the Salafi) accept the four madhhabs as legitimate, but also believe that ijtihad must be exercised by the contemporary scholars capable of doing so. Ijtihad (Arabic اجتهاد is a technical term of Islamic law that describes the process of making a legal decision by independent interpretation of the legal sources Others insist on taqlid, or acceptance of religious rulings on matters of worship and personal affairs from a higher religious authority without necessarily asking for the technical proof as a requirement. Taqlid or taqleed ( Arabic تَقْليد taqlīd) is an Arabic term meaning "to follow (someone" or "to imitate" This practice is very common amongst Sufis, who follow an Islamic mystical order, tariqah. Sufism ( تصوّف - taṣawwuf, Persian: صوفیگری sufigari, Turkish: tasavvuf, Urdu: تصوف Tariqah ( ar طريقه; pl طرق; Ṭuruq or Persian: Tarighat, Turkish: Tarikat) means "way"
Also, it should be noted that experts/scholars of fiqh follow the usul (principles) of their own native madhab, but they also study the usul, evidences, and opinions of other madhabs.
