About the Author :

 

He is Shihab al-Din Abu al-Abbas Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Abu Bakr al-Qastallani al-Qutaybi al-Shafi'i, also known as Al-Qastallani. He was a Sunni Islamic scholar who specialised in hadith and theology. He owed his literary fame mainly to his exhaustive commentary on the Sahih al-Bukhari entitled Irshad al-Sari fi Sharh al-Bukhari.
 

Imam al-Qastallani settled on the Shafi'i school later in life, though he was initially a follower of the Maliki school in jurisprudence. In regard to Islamic theology, Al-Qastallani was a proponent of the Ash'ari school for which he is considered one of the main figureheads.
