I wish translators would use good Dictionaries not Internet, where pretty often appear wrong translations time to time...

Your text is definitely telling about the strict followers of Islam - caliphs and caliphat;( less stringent are - shiahs). Appeared in 7th century, this school is very wide and has numerous branches throughout the world nowdays. Caliphs are acting, teaching and interpreting Islam as "vice-Mohammads" - instead of him.

What may explain the "agressiveness" of Caliph Sunnism school - is it's history. It was a flag of Arabia started it's wars of conquest .

So, the word "толк" could be interpreted as "the suppression of undesirable opinion", probably, Abu Hanifa did that to his deciples.

"Scholars of the Caliph approach" - as Hanifa was a caliph himself

I thought you want to know - who are they. What about "их толкование"? And what the subject was/. Actually, in order to answer your question it will be necessary to take "История судопроизводства Ирака"...
