The answer

Egypt is a Sunni country, and the official madhhab (school of thought) followed in its judiciary is that of Imam Abu Hanifa. In some cases, the preponderant opinions from the four madhhabs are adopted. One can learn about the madhhabs by consulting specialists in comparative jurisprudence or by referring to foundational texts such as: "Al-Mughni" by Ibn Qudamah, "Al-Majmu'" by Al-Nawawi, "Bidayat al-Mujtahid" by Ibn Rushd, and "Al-Fiqh 'ala al-Madhahib al-Arba'ah" by Al-Jaziri.
