Siraj al-Din Umar al-Bulqini came to Cairo from the village of Bulqina in the Delta and became the leading Shafi'i jurist of his age, regarded by many as the renewer of the eighth century. He taught generations of scholars, among them Ibn Hajar al-Asqalani, and passed away in 805 AH. His mosque and tomb are in al-Jamaliyya near Bab al-Futuh, where his sons Jalal al-Din and Alam al-Din are buried with him.
