Imam Mawaffaq ad-Din Abdullah Ibn Ahmad Ibn Qudama al-Maqdisi (Arabic ابن قدامة Ibn Qudamah) was a noted Islamic scholar of the Hanbali madhhab author of many treatises of Hanbali jurisprudence and doctrine including al-Mughni (the most widely known textbook of Hanbali fiqh) as well as Tahrim an-Nazar (Censure of Speculative Theology criticism of Ibn Aqil’s views.) He was a member of the school founded by Ahmad ibn Hanbal and is considered along with Ibn Taymiyyah as one of the two most significant proponents of Hanbalism; in the modern era adherents of the school often refer to the two as the two sheikhs and Sheikh ul-Islam.
