The Bohra community follows which school of Muslim law?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer D
The Bohra community (comprising the Dawoodi Bohras and Sulaimani Bohras, who belong to the Musta'li branch of the Western Ismailis) and the Khojas follow the Ismaili School of Shia Muslim law. By contrast, the Hanafi and Maliki schools are schools of Sunni Muslim law, while the Jafari (Ithna Ashari or Twelver) school is the largest branch of Shia Muslim law.
