A school of law that traces itself to the teaching of Malik ibn Anas. It is now prevalent in Western North Africa. The school places a special emphasis on the practice of the people of Medina, on the assumption that the way people there have done things is most likely to reflect the Sunna of the Prophet. The school recognizes a broad range of sources of law, including in principle the laws of previous revealed religions (Judaism and Christianity).
