BACKGROUND TO THE STUDY
The Hausa word Almajiri (Plural Almajirai) is derived from the
Arabic Almajiri (Plural Almuhajirun) which means one of the
companions of Prophet Muhammad (S.A.W) who accompanied him from
Mecca to Medinah during his Hijira (Migration). The Arabic word Almuhajir, therefore had a special religious connotation in the early period
in Islam. It meant a scholar who migrated from his home to another
community in search of knowledge. Up to date a pupil undergoing
Islamic Religious training is called Almajiri in the Hausa language, hence
the Almajiri system of education. The schools are found mostly in the
Northern parts of Nigeria with just a few in the southern part of the
country. (Fafunwa, 1975),
