[THE SCHOLARS OF HANAFISM: 23A] HAJI EFFENDI The righteous ustadh and noble ʿalim who studied in Istanbul and eventually became the official reviewer (muʿid) of the lessons of Kemalpaşazâde (d. 940)–his most important instructor and guide–and the one chosen by him to be responsible for collating and preserving his legal edicts. He would pray and fast frequently, and he was known for his piety and gracious character. He became sick later in life, but he would persevere with his teaching, and he lived to over 100. #hanafi #hanafism #hanafischool #hanafimadhhab #hanafisanad #fuqaha #fiqh #imamabuhanifa
