Mālikī

Mālikī law gained state support in al-Andalus under the Umayyads and remained dominant there under the Almoravids. The Almohads that followed favoured the Zahiri school, and the Christian reconquest eventually ended Muslim rule in Iberia.

In the fourteenth century, the Egyptian jurist Khalil ibn Ishaq taught in Medina and Cairo and wrote a concise manual of Maliki law. His Mukhtasar became an authoritative reference for jurists in North and West Africa.
