Al-Qastallani

Shihāb al-Dīn Abu'l-‘Abbās Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad ibn Abī Bakr al-Qasṭallānī al-Qutaybī al-Shāfi‘ī, also known as Al-Qasṭallānī was a Sunni Islamic scholar who specialized in hadith and theology.[1] He owed his literary fame mainly to his exhaustive commentary on the Sahih al-Bukhari entitled Irshād al-Sarī fī Sharḥ al-Bukhārī.[1]

Life

He was married to 'Aishah al-Ba'uniyyah.[2]

He was a contemporary of Suyuti, and between the two there were several scholarly challenges, Arabic: 'Khusumat'. The subject of the arguments were focused on al-Qasṭallānī's Shaykh al-Sakhawi, but eventually al-Qasṭallānī went to Suyuti to apologize.[6]

Views

Qasṭallānī settled on the Shāfi‘ī school later in life, though he was initially a follower of the Maliki school in jurisprudence. In regard to Islamic theology, Qasṭallānī was a proponent of the Ash'ari school for which he is considered one of the main figureheads.
