Islamic Legal Schools- Uni help

[Riff]

Im talking about hanafi, hanbali, shafi, maliki schools

Does these schools reflect the community consensus or analogical reasoning in the Islam's religious authority?

Religious authority

1) Quran
2) Sunna(Hadith)
3) Consensus
4) Analogical reasoning

Yes i understand. But what is the question?

These are great scholars - not sure what you mean by 'community consensus'? My own view is that not enough Muslims understand the major 'schools of thought'

My own mother thinks 'shafis' are non-Muslims because they pray different to us 'Hanifis'!

There really is no such thing as a community consensus, more like a scholarly consensus right?

1) Qur'aan
2) Sunnah (includes Hadeeth)
3) Using logic (which may include scholarly consensus)
