The theological school of al-Maturidi of Samarkand, paired with Hanafi law, which gives reason a larger place in knowing good and evil than its Ash'ari sister school.
Maturidi theology is the doctrinal mainstream of the Hanafi world, from Turkey to Central and South Asia. It shares the Ash'ari defense of the Sunna while holding that reason can know some good and evil before revelation speaks.
