Biography

Ibn 'Abd al-Barr was born in 978 and died in 1071 in Xàtiva in Al-Andalus.[11] [12] According to Ibn Khallikan, Ibn Abd al-Barr sprung from the Arabian tribe of Namr ibn Qasit.[13]

While initially having been an adherent of the Zahirite school of Muslim jurisprudence, Ibn Abd al-Barr later switched to the Maliki school,[14] 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.[15] Ibn 'Abd al-Barr was a strong opponent of the practice of Taqlid (blind-imitation)[16] and represented the traditionalist strand of the Maliki school.[17] He is often referred to as the "Bukhari of the West."

A custodian of the royal libraries the Umayyad Caliphate in Cordoba patronized, he taught in the Grand Mosque of Cordoba and its attached colleges.
