Al-Jassas

Al-Jaṣṣās (الجصاص, d. c. 942; full name Abū Bakr Aḥmad ibn ʿAlī al-Rāzī al-Jaṣṣāṣ) was a Hanafite scholar,[1][3] mostly known as the commentator of Al-Ḫaṣṣāf's work on Qādī (jurisprudence). According to Tillier (2009:281), the original work and its commentary can now "hardly be separated: al-Khaṣṣāf's original text is included in al-Jaṣṣāṣ's commentary". Al-Jaṣṣās is also the author of a work on tafsir, Aḥkām al-Qur'ān.

gollark: I mean, the UK government is becoming increasingly authoritarian about data and the interwebs.
gollark: If you do not protect your data, you do not know who might have access to it eventually.
gollark: In any case, *any* government could decide to start being more authoritarian one day. Like Turkey's a few years back.
gollark: I must have been been confused.
gollark: (also, I thought you lived in the UK...?)
