Shafi scribe el-Begavi and his jurisprudence

Known as Begavî among the scholars of the Seljukid period, Ebû Muhammed Hüseyin b. Mesûd b. Muhammed b. Ferrâ el-Begavî; is recognized for his works in various fields such as interpretation, hadith, jurisprudence, and recitation, and for his scholarly competence in interpretation, hadith, and recitation. However, despite his advanced position in jurisprudence, he is not as well-known, especially in the academic field, as in other areas. After writing works on the two fundamental sources of Islamic law, the Quran and the Sunnah, Begavî penned his work titled "et-Tehzîb fî fikhil-İmâmi'ş-Şâfiî" in the field of jurisprudence. Shaped by Shafiî doctrine, Begavî's jurisprudential views occasionally diverged from the Shafiî sect and naturally opposed to the other sects as well. This study aims to show Begavî's jurisprudence, which is insufficiently known in the academic field. Our study consists of an introduction and three chapters. The introduction provides technical information about the purpose, significance, methodology, and sources of our study. The first chapter discusses Begavî's life, scholarly persona, and the historical background of his scholarly persona. In the second chapter, Begavî's procedural opinions are mentioned. In the third chapter Begavî's juristic views, his place in the Shafiî sect, and criticisms made against him are identified and given.
