What is the specific term for a scholar specializing in Islamic jurisprudence (Fiqh)?

Explanation

• A Faqih is a scholar who specialises in Fiqh, the study of Islamic legal rulings.
• The plural is Fuqaha, and the four well-known Sunni schools of Fiqh are Hanafi, Maliki, Shafi’i and Hanbali.
• Fiqh is the practical application of Shariah, while Usul al-Fiqh covers the principles used to derive those rulings.
• Option B Muhaddith is a specialist in Hadith narration, which is a source for Fiqh rather than Fiqh itself.
• Option C Mufassir means an interpreter of the Quran, and option D Qari means a skilled reciter.
