The four Imams—Abu Hanifa, Malik, Shafi'i, and Ahmad ibn Hanbal—differ primarily in their methodologies for interpreting Islamic law (Sharia). Each Imam has unique approaches to sources of law, with some emphasizing consensus (ijma) and analogy (qiyas) more than others. For example, Abu Hanifa is known for his use of reasoning and opinion, while Malik relies heavily on the practices of the people of Medina. These differences lead to variations in rulings on various legal and ethical issues within Sunni Islam.
