Zahiriyya is a school of jurisprudence in Islamic history, attributed to Dawud ibn Ali al-Isfahani, and of which Ibn Hazm al-Andalusi is one of its most prominent later defenders. Its followers emphasized the clear implication of the text of the Quran and Hadith in inference and did not accept jurisprudential analogy in the manner common to other schools.

Zahiriyya today does not have the same pervasive social organization as the four major Sunni schools, but it is important in the history of jurisprudence and methodological debates. It is mentioned here as a well-known and historical school, not to claim demographic equality or contemporary institutional presence with the four major schools.
