Shihab al-Din al-Ramli was a Shafi'i jurist named after the village of al-Ramla near Quesna in Minufiyya. As a young man he went to Madinah with the mission Sultan Qaytbay sent to rebuild the Prophet's ﷺ Mosque after the fire of 886 AH, and stayed on to study law with the scholars of the Hijaz and then of Syria before returning to teach in Cairo. His mosque and shrine stand in Haret al-Ramli, by Bab al-Sha'riyya square.
