Imam Sahnoun - 777-855
This stamp pays tribute to Abdesselem Sahnoun, the greatest jurist of the Malikite school in North Africa. Ali Fakhet's illustration shows him in scholarly meditation, with the scales of justice in the background.
Author of the Mudawana, Sahnoun structured the legal and religious thought of medieval Tunisia since Kairouan. He embodies intellectual rigor and the independence of justice, remaining an absolute reference for Muslim law in the Maghreb.
