Ibn Qudamah

Ibn Qudama (January/February 1147 – 7 July 1223) was an Islamic scholar, muhaddith, and theologian of the Hanbali school of Sunni Islam. Born in the Palestine region, Ibn Qudama authored many important treatises on Islamic jurisprudence and religious doctrine, including one of the standard works of Hanbali law, the revered al-Mughni. Ibn Qudama is highly regarded in Sunni Islam for being one of the most notable and influential thinkers of the Hanbali school of orthodox Sunni jurisprudence. Within that school, he is one of the few thinkers to be given the honorific epithet of Shaykh of Islam, which is a prestigious title bestowed by Sunnis on some of the most important thinkers of their tradition.
