Summary
Taqi al-Din Ibn Razin, shaykh al-Islam and chief qadi. He memorized the Tanbih in youth, then al-Ghazali's Wasit, Mufaddal and Mustasfa, and was giving fatwas at eighteen. He stayed close to Ibn al-Salah at Damascus, read the Qira'at on al-Sakhawi and took Arabic from Ibn Ya'ish. He held the agency of the bayt al-mal under al-Nasir, then moved from Hulagu's reach to Egypt and taught at the Zahiriyya. He held the chief judgeship yet took no salary for it, out of piety and scrupulosity. Among those who qualified under him was Badr al-Din Ibn Jama'a, and Imam al-Nawawi transmitted from him. 1
