description: "Muhammad ‘UIaysh, more commonly referred to in Muslim works simply as ‘UIaysh or Sheikh ‘UIaysh, was a 19th-century CE Egyptian Muslim jurist of Tripolitanian origin. 'Illish was an important late scholar of the Maliki school of Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh). He is perhaps the last of a line of widely read and respected sources of traditional fatwas of the late Maliki school from an Azharite 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 Maliki Mufti of Al-Azhar. By the time of his death in 1882, ‘UIaysh was one of the premier leaders of Egyptian scholarly society. His Minah al-Jalil as well as his Fatawa are widely used today among traditional Malikis for fatwa positions of the school."
