Muhammad ‘UIaysh (1802 - 1882 CE) (1217 - 1299AH) (Arabic:مُحَمَّدٌ عُلَيْش), more commonly referred to in Muslim works simply as‘UIaysh orSheikh ‘UIaysh, was a 19th-century CE Egyptian Muslim jurist ofTripolitanian origin. 'Illish was an important late scholar of theMaliki school of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). He is perhaps the last of a line of widely read and respected sources of traditionalfatwas of the late Maliki school from anAzharite scholar. ‘UIaysh was an extremely popular teacher at Al-Azhar. His lectures were regularly attended by audiences of over 200 students. In July 1854, ‘UIaysh was appointed the MalikiMufti of Al-Azhar. By the time of his death in 1882, ‘UIaysh was one of the premier leaders of Egyptian scholarly society.[1] HisMinah al-Jalil as well as hisFatawa are widely used today among traditional Malikis for fatwa positions of the school.[2]
