Abstract :This article discusses the role and significance of the Ispidjab fiqh school and its contribution to Islamic law. Ispidjab was one of the main centers of Islamic studies in Kazakhstan in the XI-XII centuries. During these two centuries a separate school of fiqh was formed in Ispidjab according to the Hanafi madhab. The representatives of this school of fiqh, their teachers and students, their works and scientific degrees are described. In particular, the manuscripts of the Ispidjab scholars that have survived to this day are studied from a historical and textual point of view and are attributed to their authors. The manuscripts are classified and each one described. It also presents the results of ongoing study by Ispidjab scholars in the context of the text «Mukhtasar at-Takhawi». At the same time, the works of two scholars of Ispidjab, Ahmad Ibn Mansur and Ali Ibn Muhammad «Sharh muhtasar at-Tahawi» are compared according to a number of criteria, and their differences are revealed. The quantitative and qualitative indicators obtained during the study of these manuscripts show the difference between the Ispidjab school of law and other fiqh schools.
