Biography
Ibn 'Abd al-Barr was born in 978 and died in 1071 in Xàtiva in Al-Andalus.[6][7] According to Ibn Khallikan, Ibn Abd al-Barr sprung from the Arabian tribe of Namr ibn Qasit.[8]
While initially having been an adherent of the Zahiri school of Muslim jurisprudence, Ibn Abd al-Barr later switched to the Maliki school,[9] which was the officially recognized legal code of the Umayyad dynasty, under which he lived. His book on the three great Sunni jurists Malik ibn Anas, Al-Shafi'i and Abu Hanifa noticeably excluded both his former patron Dawud al-Zahiri and Ahmad ibn Hanbal.[10] Ibn 'Abd al-Barr represented the traditionalist strand of the Maliki school.[11] He is often referred to as the "Bukhari of the West."[5] Ibn Abd al-Barr was a supporter of taqlid, or following an Islamic school of jurisprudence.[12] Ibn Abd al-Barr wrote in his book, Jami' Bayan al-'Ilm wa Fadlihi: "The scholars do not differ on the point that the laymen must make Taqlid their respective Imams. They are the ones meant by the verse of the Quran in al-Nahl, (Template:Langx)... Similarly, the scholars do not differ on the point that the laymen are not permitted to give religious verdicts."[12]
A custodian of the royal libraries the Umayyad Caliphate in Cordoba patronized, he taught in the Grand Mosque of Cordoba and its attached colleges.[13]
