Ibn 'Abd al-Barr

Yūsuf ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd al-Barr, Abū ʿUmar al-Namarī al-Andalusī al-Qurṭubī al-Mālikī, commonly known as Ibn ʿAbd al-Barr (Arabic: ابن عبد البر) [5][6] was an eleventh-century Maliki scholar and Athari theologian[7] who served as the Qadi of Lisbon.[8][9] He died in December 2, 1071(1071-12-02) (aged 93).

Biography

Ibn 'Abd al-Barr was born in 978 and died in 1071 in Xàtiva in Al-Andalus.[10][11] According to Ibn Khallikan, Ibn Abd al-Barr sprung from the Arabian tribe of Namr ibn Qasit.[12]

While initially having been an adherent of the Zahirite school of Muslim jurisprudence, Ibn Abd al-Barr later switched to the Maliki school,[13] which was the officially recognized legal code of the Umayyad dynasty, under which he lived. His book on the three great Sunni jurists Malik ibn Anas, Al-Shafi'i and Abu Hanifa noticeably excluded both his former patron Dawud al-Zahiri and Ahmad ibn Hanbal.[14] Ibn 'Abd al-Barr was a strong opponent of the practice of Taqlid (blind-imitation)[15] and represented the traditionalist strand of the Maliki school.[16] He is often referred to as the "Bukhari of the West."[9]

A custodian of the royal libraries the Umayyad Caliphate in Cordoba patronized, he taught in the Grand Mosque of Cordoba and its attached colleges.[17]
