Al-Kawthari

Al-Kawthari

Muhammad Zahid ibn Hasan al-Kawthari (1296 AH-1371 AH) was the adjunct to the last Sheikh al-Islam of the Ottoman Empire and a well known Hanafi jurist.

He studied under his father as well as the scholars of Qur'an and hadith Ibrahim Haqqi, Shaykh Zayn al-`Abidin al-Alsuni, Shaykh Muhammad Khalis al-Shirwani, al-Hasan al-Aztuwa'i, and others.

After the fall of the Ottoman Empire Kawthari moved to Cairo, then Sham, then returned to Cairo where he edited and brought back into circulation countless classical books of fiqh, hadith, and usul. A staunch Ashari, he held a critical view of Ibn Taymiyya.
