Burhān al-Dīn Abu’l-Ḥasan ‘Alī bin Abī Bakr bin ‘Abd al-Jalīl al-Farghānī al-Marghīnānī[5] (Arabic: برهان الدين المرغيناني) (1135-1197) was an Islamic scholar of the Hanafi school of jurisprudence.He was born to an Arab family whose lineage goes back to Caliph Abu Bakr al-Siddiq. He was born in Marghinan near Farghana (in present day Uzbekistan). He died in 1197 (593 AH).[6][7] He is best known as the author of al-Hidayah, which is considered to be one of the most influential compendia of Hanafi jurisprudence (fiqh).[8] Sheikh Muhammad Abd al-Hayy al-Laknawi mentioned in the book al-Fawa’id al-Bahiyyah, saying: And know that they divided our Hanafi companions into six classes, and the fourth: the class of those with preferential judgment, such as Burhan al-Din al-Marginani, who are able to prefer some narrations over others. Some with good knowledge.[9]
