Articles on Ibadi studies

“The study of Ibadi fiqh (jurisprudence) gains a high level of importance in the general history of Islam due to the fact that the Ibadi School of Law is the first Islamic school of jurisprudence

The early roots of the Ibadi origins go back to the time of the second Rightly-Guided Caliph Umar b. al-Kattab (d. 18 AH/ 639 CE). At the role of Umar, Abu ash-Shatha Jabir b. Zaid, to whom the Ibadi School belongs, was born into an Omani religious family in the year (18 AH/ 639 CE). According to all Ibadi references and most non-Ibadis’ sources it was the great Successor Jabir b. Zaid who laid the basic foundations of the first school of Islamic jurisprudence in the second half of the first century CE.” By Al Muatasim Said Saif Al-Maawali
