Archival Overview

Andalusian polymath, poet, and Zahiri jurist whose 'Al-Muhalla' codified literalist jurisprudence and whose 'Al-Fasl' pioneered the academic discipline of comparative religion.

Biographical Record

Ali ibn Ahmad Ibn Hazm (994–1064 CE) served twice as grand vizier of the Umayyad Caliphate in Cordoba before political strife caused him to dedicate his life entirely to scholarship.

He championed the Zahiri (literalist) methodology, rejecting blind imitation (taqlid) and subjective deduction (qiyas). His Ring of the Dove explored courtly love, while Al-Fasl analyzed world religions with critical precision.
