Islam in Djibouti
[By
WIKIPEDIA]
Islam in Djibouti
has a long history, first appearing in East Africa during the lifetime of
Muhammad. Today, 96 percent of Djibouti's
490,000 people are Sunni Muslims adhering largely to the
Shafi legal tradition. In addition,
many belong to the Qadiri,
Ahmadi, and Salihi Sufi orders.
After independence from France (1977), the republic constructed a legal
system based on French jurisprudence, customary practices, and Islamic law. |
