Overview
Kharija ibn Zayd ibn Thabit (may God be pleased with him), one of the seven jurists of Medina in the second generation. Al-Shirazi says that he and Talha ibn Abdallah ibn Awf were consulted for legal opinions in their time, and that people relied on their views on inheritance and documents. 1
Al-Salabi says that he was among the ten jurists whom Umar ibn Abd al-Aziz invited to the council of consultation in Medina. 2 Al-Shirazi relays a view that he died around 100 AH at the age of seventy. The date is derived and needs an additional source.
