Approximate map of the distribution of the four Sunni "madhhab" schools of legal interpretation.

Based on the public domain image at File:Muslim_distribution.jpg at wikipedia.org. A CIA-created, public domain map taken from http://www.lib.utexas.edu/maps/world_maps/muslim_distribution.jpg .

This map could be improved by use of a SVG file, such as en:File:Muslim_distribution.svg (the converted SVG version done by user Zipola) as a possible candidate, with the drawback of the text being a bit unclear.

I created the layer containing the grouping of the extent of the Sunni schools of law based on Wikipedia articles; when I was in doubt about the extent, I placed a dotted line to indicate my doubt about the extent.

2008 on February 25th : Ed Murphy at Condor’s Quill II in The most maritime of fiqhs “It’s not indicated on the map, but Kurds are Shafi too” it would be nice to indicate the Shafi rites in the Kurd areas. Also area “dividing eastern and western Yemen” sould probebly include all of Yemen for the Shafi.

2008 on April 2nd : On the Svenska muslimers forum are some questions about the correctness of this map, islampunkten informs there discussion.
