Shia Islam in Somalia
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
(Redirected from Shi'a Islam in Somalia)
Shi'a Muslims form a very small minority in Somalia, which is almost entirely populated by Sunni Muslims of the Shafi school of jurisprudence (madhab).[1] The historian David Westerlund refers to both Shia and Wahhabi (Hanbali madhab) sects in Somalia as relatively recent developments.[2]
