From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shaykh Manṣūr Ibn Yūnus Al-Buhūtī (c. 1592 – July 1641),[5] better known as al-Buhūtī,[6] was an Egyptian Islamic Jurist. He espoused the Hanbali school of Islam and is widely considered to be the final editor and commentator (Khātimat-al-Muḥaqiqīn).[7][8] His legal writings are considered well-researched and concise, and are still studied and highly revered in Hanbali circles in Saudi Arabia, Syria, Qatar, Kuwait, and Egypt. From his most notable works is al-Rawd Al Murbi’ Sharh Zād Al Mustaqni which is studied by intermediate students of Hanbali jurisprudence.[9]
