Özet:

Abu Ja‘far at-Tahâwî (d. 321/933) is one of the early jurists of the early Hanafi sect. Born and raised in Egypt and made important contributions to the development of Hanefi sect in Egypt. In his days he was accepted as the representative of Hanefi sect in Egypt. Tahâwî lived in a period when the spirit of sectarian and imitation of imams did not yet exist. While he was a member of Shafii sect till twenty years old, he was transferred to Hanafi school by the effect of Hanefî judges assigned to Egypt. Despite the fact that he act according to the methodology of the Hanafi imams, In many fiqh issues, he opposed the Hanafi imams and revealed his own views. Therefore the subject of our study is to identify the reasons for leaving the sect of Shafiî and the reasons of opposition to Abû Hanifa (d. 150/767) who was the founder and leader of the Hanafi sect and Imam Abû Yusuf (d. 182/798) and Imam Mohammad (d. 189/805) who were the students of Imam Abû Hanifa and the first conveyers of the sect of Hanafi.
