THE SCIENTIFIC HERITAGE OF IBN ABIDIN ON HANAFI FIQH

Abstract

The original name of the scientist known as Ibn Abidin is Muhammad Amin ibn Amr ibn Abdulaziz ibn Ahmad ibn Abdurrahman ibn Najmuddin ibn Muhammad Salihiddin. He was born in 1776 AD (1197 AH) in the city of Damascus in the family of a businessman. He received a good education from his youth and memorized the Holy Qur’an completely. Since his father was engaged in commerce, his son helped his father in the store. Despite being engaged in business, he did not stop reciting the Qur’an. One day, one of the customers who came to the store objected to his recitation.
