Innumerable studies of him in the field of kalam have entrenched his eminence in the field of fiqh, especially the Shafi’i school. Besides, the Nihayat al-Matlab fi Dirayat al-Madhhab plays an important role in the historical development and evaluation of the Shafi’i school. This qualitative study intended to reveal the eminence of Imam al-Haramayn in the fiqh of the Shafi’i school and the writing methodology used in Nihayat al-Matlab scripture until it became known as ‘al-Madhhab al-Kabir’. Data related to the Imam’s biography were gathered from historical scriptures, mainly the al-tabaqat scriptures. Whereas, data concerning the methodology of writing Nihayat al-Matlab scripture was obtained from the scripture itself as well as the introduction by the verifier of the scripture, ‘Abd al-‘Azim al-Dib. Findings show that Imam al-Haramayn is an authoritative figure when it comes to the Shafi’i school. Nihayat al-Matlab is an important scripture used in the initial screening of views adduced by fuqaha from the Shafi’i school, specifically tariqat al-‘Iraqiyyin and al-Hijaziyyin. This scripture collects and forms a method as well as the guidelines and principles (al-dabit) for the various branches of jurisprudence (furu’ fiqhiyyah) involved in the Shafi’i school, which Imam al-Haramayn tied to produce. Hence, the originality and reformation had made the scripture very famous among fuqaha of the Shafi’i school. Further studies should focus on the Nihayat al-Matlab scripture from various aspects, such as fiqh, usul fiqh, maqasid al-shari’ah and siyasah.</p>}, number={1}, journal={Journal of Ifta and Islamic Heritage}, author={Yahaya, Mohammad Zaini and Samsudin, Muhammad Adib}, year={2022}, month={Jan.}, pages={1–29} }
