Quick fact: The fatawa of Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A) were compiled by Taqi al-Din al-Subki.

Explanation

Taqi al-Din al-Subki (d. 756 AH) was a prominent Shafi'i jurist and scholar of the Mamluk era who compiled the legal opinions (fatawa) attributed to Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A). Abu Hurairah (R.A) was one of the most prolific narrators of hadith and was also known for issuing religious verdicts based on his close companionship with the Prophet (PBUH). Al-Subki's compilation preserved these fatawa, making them accessible to later generations of scholars and students of Islamic jurisprudence.

Good to know

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (R.A) embraced Islam in 7 AH and spent approximately three years in the close company of the Prophet (PBUH), yet he narrated more hadith than any other companion — over 5,374 narrations. His deep understanding of Islamic law also made him a source of fatawa during the caliphates of Umar and Usman (R.A). Taqi al-Din al-Subki was a renowned scholar who served as the chief judge of Damascus and authored several important works in fiqh and usul al-fiqh.
