Английская Википедия:Ahmad ibn Abi Jum'ah
Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox religious biography Abu al-Abbas Ahmad ibn Abi Jum'ah al-Maghrawi al-Wahrani (Шаблон:Lang-ar) (died 3 June 1511) was an Algerian Maliki scholar of Islamic law, active in the Maghreb from the end of the fifteenth century until his death. He was identified as the author of the 1504 fatwa commonly named the Oran fatwa, instructing the Muslims in Spain about how to secretly practice Islam, and granting comprehensive dispensations for them to publicly conform to Christianity and performing acts normally forbidden in Islam when necessary to survive.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn Because of his authorship of the fatwa he is often referred to as "the Mufti of Oran", although he likely issued the fatwa in Fez, not in Oran and he did not have any official capacity in either city.Шаблон:Sfn
Name
His name was given in various forms and rendition, both by surviving manuscripts of his works and by modern scholars. Шаблон:Sfn His full name is made up of several names:
- Abu al-Abbas, meaning "father of al-Abbas", possibly a kunya or teknonym
- Ahmad is presumably his given name.Шаблон:Sfn
- ibn (or bin) Abi (or Abu) Jum'ah is a patronymic name, meaning "son of Abu Jum'ah"Шаблон:Sfn
- al-Maghrawi is a nisba, a name signifying place of origin or tribal affiliation. Its meaning is contested.Шаблон:Sfn An opinion, argued by Mikel de Epalza and Jean Cantineau said that it means "of Almagro", implying that he was a Spanish Muslim who had later fled to North Africa.Шаблон:Sfn Devin J. Stewart, while agreeing that al-Maghrawi must be a toponymic, instead argued that it refers to Maghrawah, an area in north-western Algeria.Шаблон:Sfn While an opinion, argued by L. P. Harvey held that it means "of the Maghrawa [tribe]".Шаблон:Sfn
- al-Wahrani is another nisba, which means "of Oran", referring to the city of Oran (Шаблон:Lang-ar,Шаблон:NbspWahran) in Western Algeria.Шаблон:Sfn
In some of the manuscripts the name "Ubaydallah" is also added, a theophoric name that means "the little servant of God", and was likely added as a pious formula.Шаблон:Sfn
His various names, and the various renditions and combinations that appear in various manuscripts and transliterations, have given rise to occasional confusions.Шаблон:Sfn The renditions that appeared include: "Ahmed ben Juma'a", "Ubaydallah Ahmed Ben Bu Jumu'ah", "Ahmad fijo de Abu Jumu'ah", "Obaydala Ahmed Abenabigiomoa", "Ubayd Allah al-Wahrani" and "Ahmad Bu Jum'a".

Biography
There are several contradicting theories about his birth and childhood.Шаблон:Sfn He may have been born in Oran, then part of the Zayyanid kingdom of Tlemcen,[1] or in the nearby region of Maghrawah.Шаблон:Sfn In either way, he was presumably of Berber origin and belonged to the Maghrawah tribal confederation.Шаблон:Sfn Some opinions also say that he was a native of Spain, born in Almagro.Шаблон:Sfn His date of birth is unknown, but estimated to be in the mid-fifteenth century.Шаблон:Sfn
He studied in Oran in his early years, then moved to Tlemcen, the nearest major capital to get an education in Islamic law and theology.Шаблон:Sfn He studied under Muhammad ibn Yusuf al-Sanusi, a well-known Islamic scholar.Шаблон:Sfn In Tlemcen he wrote Jami' Jawami' al-Ikhtisar wa al-Tibyan and had a teaching position.Шаблон:Sfn At some point (estimated to be around 1493), he moved to Fez and obtained a salaried position as a professor of law.Шаблон:Sfn He issued the Oran fatwa in 1504, likely when he was in Fez.Шаблон:Sfn He died in Fez in 3 June 1511.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn His son, Muhammad Shaqrun would also become an Islamic scholar.Шаблон:Sfn
Because of his authorship of the Oran fatwa, he has frequently been referred to as "the Mufti of Oran", suggesting that he wrote the fatwa there and he had some sort of official authority as a mufti.Шаблон:Sfn However, Devin J. Stewart noted that he was active in Fez (in today's Morocco), not Oran, at the time of the fatwa's composition, and likely penned it there.Шаблон:Sfn His name did not appear in the list of official muftis of Fez,Шаблон:Sfn so it is likely that the fatwa was not issued in any official capacity, but as a private mufti issuing a legal opinion on request.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn In theory, any competent Islamic jurist could issue a fatwa, although normally it carries less weight than ones from an official mufti.Шаблон:Sfn
Works
Oran fatwa
Шаблон:Main He is best known for the responsum fatwa commonly named by modern scholar as the Oran fatwa.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The name "Oran fatwa" itself was given by modern scholars due to the name al-Wahrani ("of Oran") that appeared in the text as part of his name.Шаблон:Sfn The fatwa instructed the Muslims in Spain about how to secretly practice Islam, and granted comprehensive dispensations for them to publicly conform to Christianity and perform acts normally forbidden in Islam when necessary to survive.Шаблон:SfnШаблон:Sfn The fatwa, while reaffirming the orthodox obligation of all Muslims, sets out detailed relaxations of the sharia requirements for the benefit of the persecuted Muslims of Spain. The fatwa allowed for outwardly conforming to Christianity and performing acts that are ordinarily forbidden in Islamic law when necessary to survive, while maintaining internal convictions against such acts.Шаблон:Sfn
The fatwa enjoyed wide currency among Muslims and Moriscos (Muslims nominally converted to Christianity and their descendants) in Spain, and one of the surviving aljamiado translations was dated at 1564, 60 years after the original fatwa.Шаблон:Sfn The fatwa has been described as the "key theological document" to understand the practice of Spanish Muslims following the Reconquista up to the expulsion of the Moriscos.Шаблон:Sfn
Other works
He wrote Jami' Jawami' al-Ikhtisar wa al-Tibyan fima ya'rudu bayna al-mu'allimin wa aba al-sibyan ("The Epitome of Epitomes of Competence and Explanation, on What Arises Between Teachers and the Fathers of Boys"), a treatise on elementary education while in Tlemcen.Шаблон:Sfn
