Abstract

This article examines the legal methodology of Burhan al-Din al-Marghinani 
(1135–1197) through a comparative analysis with major Hanafi jurists, including Abu 
Hanifa, Abu Yusuf, Muḥammad al-Shaybani, and al-Sarakh si. By analyzing primary 
texts and classical commentaries, the study identifies methodological continuities and 
evolutions within the Hanafi legal tradition, demonstrating how Marghinani synthesized 
and systematized centuries of juristic reasoning into a coherent legal framework.
