Determining and analyzing the opinions applied to Ebû Hanife in Râfii's work titled Fethu'l-Aziz (Specific to had penalties)

Rafi al-Kazvini is a Shafi'i scholar who was born in the lands of today's Iran and had been called as Aleemu'l-'acam wa'l-Arab in history. The title of "Shayhan" was given by sectarian scholars because he collected the scattered opinions in the sect and played an important role in determining the opinion of the sect by separating the authentic and the saz views from each other. Rafi copyrighted a lot of works. No doubt that one of the most impartant ones in these works is Fathu'l Aziz which is his interpretation work about Ghazali's Al-Wacez. The fact that he conveyed the Shafi'i Sect's views and stated the weak and authentic opinions, conveyed the opinions of the imams of different sects and discussed the evidences, added the atmosphere of a comparative fiqh book. In his work called Fethu'l-aziz, Râfiî especially compared Ebu Hanife more than other imams. Our study consists of introduction, three bodies and conclusion.
