ABSTRACT : In *Bidayat al-Mujtahid*, Ibn Rushd discusses and compares the major Islamic jurisprudential schools of thought, focusing on the differences between the four main schools: Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi'i, and Hanbali, in their interpretations of complex legal issues. He argues that these differences are not due to misunderstandings but rather stem from differing views on the interpretation of Islamic texts. Ibn Rushd emphasizes that ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) is a right for every qualified scholar, and that there should be no blind adherence to one particular school over others. He highlights that the diversity of opinions in Islamic jurisprudence reflects the richness of Islamic thought and the various methods of deriving legal rulings from the sources.
