Abu Muhammad Abd Allah bin Muhammad bin Qasim bin Hilal bin Yazid bin 'Imran al-'Absi al-Qaysi ( Arabic: عبدالله القيسي) was an early Muslim jurist and theologian. [1]
Born in Islamic Spain, Ibn Qasim moved to Iraq for a time, and studied under Dawud al-Zahiri. He left the Malikite school of Muslim jurisprudence for the Zahirite branch, and was considered by Christopher Melchert to be the first Zahirite in the region. [2] Ibn Qasim copied his teacher's books by hand and was responsible for spreading them throughout Al-Andalus.
Ibn Qasim died in the year 272 on the Islamic calendar, corresponding to 885 or 886 on the Gregorian calendar. [3]
He was listed by later Zahirite jurist Ibn Hazm as having been, along with Ruwaym, Ibn al-Mughallis and Mundhir bin Sa'īd al-Ballūṭī, one of the primary proponents of the Zahirite school of Islamic law. [3] Ibn Hazm, who was also an early champion of the school, was essentially reviving Ibn Qasim's efforts; [4] earlier Zahirites such as Balluti kept their views to themselves. [5] [6] [7]
