what type of islam did the Ottoman empire practice?

Question

Can you tell me about it?

Answer 1

The Ottoman Empire or Ottoman Caliphate also known as the Turkish Empire or Turkey by its contemporaries was a multi-ethnic and multi-religious Turkish-ruled state.
Before adopting Islam — a process that was greatly facilitated by the Abbasid victory at the 751 Battle of Talas, which ensured Abbasid influence in Central Asia — the Turkic peoples practised a variety of shamanism. After this battle, many of the various Turkic tribes — including the Oghuz Turks, who were the ancestors of both the Seljuks and the Ottomans — gradually converted to Islam, and brought the religion with them to Anatolia beginning in the 11th century.

The Ottoman Empire was, in principle, tolerant towards Christians and Jews,but not towards the polytheists, in accordance with the Sharia law. Such tolerance was subject to a non-Muslim tax.

Answer 2

Sunni Islam of the Hanafi school.
