Shihab al-Din Abd al-Halim ibn Taymiyya

Shihab al-Din Abd al-Halim ibn Taymiyya (Arabic: شهاب الدين أبي المحاسن عبد الحليم بن مجد الدين أبي البركات عبد السلام بن عبد الله الحراني; 1230 – 1284) was Muslim scholar muhaddith, theologian, judge, jurisconsult.

Shihab al-Din ibn Taymiyya had the Hanbali chair in Harran and later at the Umayyad Mosque.

[3] His father, Majd ad-Din ibn Taymiyya, and his brother, Fakhr al-Din (d. 1225) were reputable scholars of the Hanbali school of fiqh.

[4] Shihab al-Din left with his family from Harran to Damascus in 667 AH due to the Tatars taking over it.

He learnt at the Damascus Mosque and took over the sheikhdom of Dar al-Hadith al-Sukari in al-Qasayn, where he was his residence.
