Years: 820 - 820

Al-Shafii, an Arabic jurist active in juridical matters, dies in 820 at Fustat, Egypt, having codified the methods of Islamic law in his “Risala.”

His teaching will eventually led to the Shafi'i school of fiqh (or Madh'hab) named after him; hence he is often called Imam al-Shafi'i.

The Shafi'i school of thought is today the dominant school of jurisprudence within the Sunni branch of Islam.
