The great Imam Abu Hanifa(Nauman bin Thabit) first compiled the islamic jurisprudence, and made the committee to discuss the new problems and issues there, and gave so many verdicts about newly come daily life problems in the light of Quran and Hadith. He got extraordinary students who spread his school of thought and now the people having his school of thought in Sharia Law are called as Hanfi.
Hanafi is one of the four main Sunni schools of Islamic jurisprudence, which provides guidance on the interpretation and application of Islamic law. It was named after the 8th century Iraqi jurist Abu Hanifa and is considered to be the most liberal of the four Sunni schools. Hanafi scholars have placed a strong emphasis on the use of reason and personal opinion in the interpretation of Islamic law, and their legal teachings have been widely adopted throughout the Sunni Muslim world, particularly in Central Asia, South Asia, and the Middle East.
The people who follow Imam Abu Hanifa r.h in Islamic Jurisprudence are called Hanfi.
