Shaykh Manṣūr Ibn Yūnus Al-Buhūtī (c. 1592 – July 1641),[2] better known as al-Buhūtī,[3] was an Egyptian Islamic theologian and jurist. He espoused the Hanbali school of Islam and is widely considered to be the final editor and commentator (Khātimat-al-Muḥaqiqīn).[4][5] His legal writings are considered well-researched and concise, and are still studied and highly revered in Hanbali circles in Saudi Arabia, Syria, Qatar, Kuwait, and Egypt. From his most notable works is al-Rawd Al Murbi’ Sharh Zād Al Mustaqni which is studied by intermediate students of Hanbali jurisprudence.[6]

He also wrote commentaries on advanced works of jurisprudence, such as Sharh Al Muntahā, and Kashhaf al-Qina, as well as an abridged text for beginners entitled Umdat at-Talib.[2]

He was born in Buhut, Egypt in 1591 and died in Cairo in July 1641, at the age of 51.
