Its founder was Sufyan al-Thawri, a great 8th century scholar, jurist and hadith compiler.[1]
History
Sufyan al-Thawri was born in Kufa in , and became the main scholar of fiqh of the city's hadith school.
He held similar views to that of his contemporary, Abu Hanifa, founder of the Hanafi school of fiqh, though he opposed Abu Hanifa's use of qiyas and istihsan.[2]
After al-Thawri's move to Basra later in his life, his jurisprudential thought (usul) became more closely aligned to that of the Umayyads and of al-Awza'i.[1]
He spent the last year of his life hiding after a dispute between him and the AbbasidCaliphMuhammad ibn Mansur al-Mahdi.
The Caliph had sent a letter to al-Thawri requesting him to accept the post of judge of Kufa on the condition that he did not make any judgment or ruling in opposition to the state policy.
