Abū Yaʿlā Muḥammad ibn al-Ḥusayn Ibn al-Farrāʾ(April 990 – 15 August 1066), commonly known asal-Qāḍī Abū Yaʿlāor simply asIbn al-Farrāʾ,was a greatHanbaliJurist,Atharitheologian[2]and a major authority in the Hanbali school of Jurisprudence, titled by some as 'The Pillar of the School'. He was aMujaddidandMujtahidscholar, and one of the early Muslim jurists who played dynamic roles in formulating a systematic legal framework and constitutional theory on Islamic system of government during the first half of the 5th/11th Century in Baghdad.[3] From amongst his students was the great Imam Mahfūz al Kalwadhānī, another leading major HanbaliMujtahidscholar.
He is also a prominent theologian whose works are favoured and taught by Hanbali jurists, but are also sometimes used byAsh'aritheologians. His works defends the Sunni creed according to the early theory ofal-Ithbat wa-l-Tafwid,by which the theologian affirms attributes to God without interpreting them metaphorically, while rejectinganthropomorphismand corporealism at the same time and demonstrating that the coloration[clarification needed]is unnecessary. However, despite rejecting anthropomorphism and corporealism in the totality of his works, his bookIbtal al-ta'wilatwas misinterpreted as corporealistic and caused dispute among scholars like ibn al jawzi. This has caused a major controversy at his time and prompted Ibn al-Jawzi to write his bookDaf' shubhat al-tashbihto repel the popular belief that most Hanbali jurists are anthropomorphist. That said, Abū Yaʿlā remains a major authority and his other theological works studied.[citation needed]
