Shaykh Manṣūr Ibn Yūnus Al-Buhūtī (c. 1592 – July 1641),[3] better known as al-Buhūtī,[4] 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).[5][6] 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.[7]
