This article examines the plurality of Islamic legal schools (madhhabs) and the emergence of different jurisprudential approaches, particularly from the perspective of Bedīuzzaman Said Nursī. The diversification of madhhabs does not arise solely from doctrinal differences; it is also shaped by multifaceted factors such as the social structure of societies, politics, educational institutions, scholarly authority, and geographical conditions. According to Bedīuzzaman, madhhabs represent a form of diversity that is not contrary to the truth, emerging in accordance with the changeable nature of subsidiary rulings (furu‘) in Islamic law and the needs of society. Each adherent of a madhhab follows the truth in accordance with their own context and ijtihad, and these differences play a positive role in terms of social benefit and public interest (maslahah). The article demonstrates, through the widespread adoption of the Hanafī and Shāfiʿī schools in Anatolia, that madhhab differences are shaped not only by historical or geographical reasons but also by individuals’ needs, habits, and societal preferences. Bediüzzaman addresses inter-madhhab differences in terms of social cohesion and legal stability, emphasizing that these differences do not create chaos but rather contribute to scholarly richness and societal balance. In this way, madhhab plurality is understood both as a diversity serving truth within the framework of Islamic law and as a factor maintaining social order. By combining the analysis of historical processes with Bedīuzzaman’s “plurality and disagreement” perspective, the article explains the emergence and differentiation of madhhabs, highlighting the importance of social and cultural context in this process. In conclusion, madhhab plurality is seen as a natural outcome of differences in subsidiary rulings, and Bediüzzaman’s assessment shows that this plurality is a structural feature of Islamic society that does not cause harm but rather provides benefit.
