HANAFI CREED & LAW
A structured study of the Ḥanafi tradition, covering theology, fiqh, and uṣūl through foundational and intermediate texts.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The HCL program is where students embark down the road of tradition, attaining proficiency in introductory and intermediary texts of the Hanafi madhhab in theology (Maturidism), fiqh, and uṣūl. Alongside the core texts, various works in adab and practical spirituality will be read and reflected upon. Upon completion, students are expected to have the ability to masterfully traverse and reference the primary texts and will have the opportunity to continue their studies with masters in the field.
