Studies on Islamic in Afganistan

After Afghanistan was conquered by the Muslim Arabs, the reliğion of Islam was accepted in the region and the previous law was replaced by Islamic law. Students who went to Abu Hanifa's scientific circle to study in Kufa began to spread Abu Hanifa's views and the fiqh knowledge they had acquired in Kûfe in Afghanistan. Thus, the Iraqi Hanafi fiqh was transferred to Afghanistan. This fiqh tradition is enriched with the culture and problems of each region and develops in different ways according to the conditions of that region, and sub-schools such as "Belh school" or (meşâyih-u Belh) begin to form compared to the regions where the jurists are located. Since the states established in Afghanistan are based on Hanafism, Hanafism is also adopted by the people. Thus, important developments took place in the science of fiqh in Afghanistan and many fiqh scholars were trained, especially the city of Belh, which is known as "Daru'l-fiqh", has a great scientific importance in Islamic culture. Science centers were established here, and Islamic fiqh was transferred to other cities from here. Although the scholars of Balkh adhered to the rules of the Hanafi sect, they expressed different views from the Hanafis on some issues, taking into account the cultural and geographical conditions of Belh. Although different sects found the opportunity to live in the region, the most common one was the Hanafi school, and the Balkh school of fiqh remained stable like the Sunni-Hanefî.
