Overview
Ahmad ibn Abd al-Rahman ibn Musa ibn Abd al-Haqq al-Yazlitnani, known as Hululu al-Qarawi, a Maliki jurist from Kairouan. His origin was in Yazlitan. 1
His dates
The encyclopaedia gives his birth as around 815 AH (1412 CE) and his death as around 898 AH (1492 CE), and it treats this as an inherited report rather than a certain one. 1
An additional source is needed: the dates come from a single source, and the data does not record his works.
