Al-Shafi'i[a] (Arabic: الشَّافِعِيّ, romanized: al-Shāfiʿī; IPA: [a(l) ʃaːfiʕiː] ⓘ;767–820 CE) was a Muslim scholar, jurist, traditionist, theologian, ascetic, and eponym of the Shafi'i school of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence. He is known to be the first to write a book upon the principles of Islamic jurisprudence, having authored one of the earliest work on the subject: al-Risala. His legacy and teaching on the matter provided it with a systematic form, thereby "fundamentally influencing the succeeding generations which are under his direct and obvious impact,"[8]: 270  and "beginning a new phase of the development of legal theory."[8]: 239–273 

Being born in Gaza, Palestine, to the Banu Muttalib clan of the Quraysh tribe,[2] he relocated at the age of two and was raised in Mecca.[2] He later resided in Medina, Yemen, Baghdad in Iraq, and Egypt, and also served as a judge for some time in Najran.[9][10]
