Ibadi Islam

Ibadism (, ) is the third-largest branch of Islam. Its roots go back to the Kharijite secession from the fourth Caliph, Ali ibn Abi Talib. It is a moderate subsect that has persisted and led to the creation of Ibadi communities in various areas in the Middle East and Africa.

Muḥakkima (), also known as al-Haruriyya (), were the Muslims who rejected arbitration between Ali and Mu'awiya I at the Battle of Siffin in 657 CE. The name Muḥakkima derives from their slogan (), meaning "no judgment (hukm) except God's". The name al-Haruriyya refers to their withdrawal from Ali's army to the village of Harura' near Kufa. This episode marked the start of the Kharijite movement, and the term muḥakkima is often also applied by extension to later Kharijites.

The Azzabas madhhab is one of the schools of Islamic law in Ibadism. The Ibadi school was founded between the years 1286 and 1386 and is mainly centered in the Maghreb region. In practice, Azzabas promotes a system of collectivism rather than individualism. Decisions earmarked by the Azzabas were conducted within a council, whose members attained their positions via consultations, and its rulings derive from a varied number of sources.
