Egyptian jurist

Abdel Razzaq al-Sanhuri (1895–1971) was an Egyptian jurist and legal scholar, widely regarded as the father of modern Arab civil law. He drafted the Egyptian Civil Code of 1949, which became the model for civil codes across the Arab world, including Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Kuwait. His monumental comparative work on Islamic jurisprudence and Western law established the foundations of modern Arab legal systems.
