Tarim, Hadhramaut
For about 800 years, the city of Tarim in Hadhramaut has been the centre of learning in Islamic jurisprudence or fiqh, notably of the Shafi Sunni school. The masters or early predecessors of the Ba'Alawi Tariqa are also mainly buried in the grounds of Tarim and thus up to this day, their shrines form part of the necessary destinations for visitors to Hadramaut. Today, two popular institutions for the study of Islam are Rubaat Tarim and the relatively new Dar al-Mustafa, the latter under the leadership of Habib Umar bin Hafiz.
