Ibn Muflih

This article deals with the 14th-century Islamic legal scholar. For the 15th-century one, see Ibrāhīm ibn Muḥammad Ibn Mufliḥ (d. 1479).

Shams ad-Dīn ibn Muflih al-Maqdisī ( Arabic شمس الدين أبو الله محمد بن مفلح المقدسي, DMG Šams ad-Dīn Abū ʿAbd Allāh Muḥammad ibn Mufliḥ al-Maqdisī , b. 1308 ; d. 1362 ) was one of the most important Islamic legal scholars of the Hanbalites of his time.

Its importance comes on the one hand from the preservation of older Hanbali writings, such as the Kitāb al-Funūn by Ibn ʿAqīl , which are primarily preserved in his work The Islamic Law Behavior ( al-Ādāb aš-Šarīʿa ). Ibn Muflah taught throughout his life to the Hanbali schools al-Dschauzīya , al-Sāhibīya and al-'Umarīya .
