Biographical Record

Shaikh Ebrahim bin Hassan Al-Urayyed was born in 1902 in Manama into a respected merchant and legal family. Immersed in classical Islamic jurisprudence (fiqh) and civil law, he served as a presiding judge during the critical transition from customary pearl-diving maritime law to modern statutory law.

Al-Urayyed contributed substantially to drafting modern commercial and banking regulations as Bahrain transformed into an international trading hub. Revered for his judicial integrity, impartiality, and deep knowledge of Gulf maritime custom, he advised royal committees on land registry and civil rights throughout the mid-20th century.
