He was born in Palestine in the month of Sha'baan, 541 A.H. When he was eight, his family were forced to move to Damascus due to the conquering crusaders. At this early age and time of upheaval, the Imam continued to study completing his memorisation of the Qur'an, and studying the basics of the Islamic Sciences and the compendium of Hanbali fiqh, Mukhtasar of Al Khiraqi. He went on to study with the most notable scholars of his age, before going on to becoming a respected teacher and jurist in his own right. He wrote several books in the field of Fiqh, including Al Umda (The Mainstay), Al Muqni' (The Sufficer), Al Kaafi (The Fully Sufficient) and the compendious book in comparative Fiqh, Al Mughni (The Enricher). He has many other extant works of scholarly worth in various field such as Hadith, Aqeedah and Usool Ul Fiqh.

He died on 'Eid Ul Fitr 620 A.H. May Allah bestow His mercy upon him, and may He cause his afterlife to be lived in the company of the righteous, who dwell for all eternity in everlasting bliss.
