Shihab al-Din Abd al-Halim ibn Taymiyya (Arabic: شهاب الدين أبي المحاسن عبد الحليم بن مجد الدين أبي البركات عبد السلام بن عبد الله الحراني; 1230 – 1284) was Muslim scholar muhaddith, theologian, judge, jurisconsult.[1] He was father of Ibn Taymiyya.

Biography

[edit]

Shihab al-Din ibn Taymiyya had the Hanbali chair in Harran and later at the Umayyad Mosque. Harran was a city part of the Sultanate of Rum, now Harran is a small city on the border of Syria and Turkey, currently in Şanlıurfa province.[2] At the beginning of the Islamic period, Harran was located in the land of the Mudar tribe (Diyar Mudar).[3] His father, Majd ad-Din ibn Taymiyya, and his brother, Fakhr al-Din (d. 1225) were reputable scholars of the Hanbali school of fiqh.[4]

Shihab al-Din left with his family from Harran to Damascus in 667 AH due to the Tatars taking over it. He learnt at the Damascus Mosque and took over the sheikhdom of Dar al-Hadith al-Sukari in al-Qasayn, where he was his residence. Then his son, ibn Taymiyya studied it after him. He died on the 27th of Dhu al-Hijjah 682 AH.
