Life
He was married to 'Aishah al-Ba'uniyyah.[2]
He was a contemporary of Suyuti, and between the two there were several scholarly challenges, Arabic: 'Khusumat'. The subject of the arguments were focused on al-Qasṭallānī's Shaykh al-Sakhawi, but eventually al-Qasṭallānī went to Suyuti to apologize.[6]
Views
Qasṭallānī settled on the Shāfi‘ī school later in life, though he was initially a follower of the Maliki school in jurisprudence. In regard to Islamic theology, Qasṭallānī was a proponent of the Ash'ari school for which he is considered one of the main figureheads.
