Khalil ibn Ishaq al-Jundi (d. circa 1365 [Jamila Bargach, "Orphans of Islam" (Rowman & Littlefield, 2002), p. 241] ) was an Egyptian jurisprudent in Maliki Islamic law who taught in Medina and Cairo. His Mukhtasar, known as the "Mukhtasar" of Khalil", is considered an epitome of shariah law according to the Maliki madhhab, and is regarded as the most authoritative legal manual by North and West African Muslims.
