Born 973 CE, died 1031 CE.

Qāḍī ʿAbd al-Wahhāb ibn ʿAlī ibn Naṣr ibn Aḥmad ibn al-Ḥusayn ibn Hārūn ibn Malik ibn Tawk al-Taghlibī (Arabic: القاضي عبد الوهاب بن علي بن نصر بن أحمد بن الحسين بن هارون بن مالك بن طوق التغلبي); commonly known as Qāḍī ʿAbd al-Wahhāb (Arabic: القاضي عبد الوهاب; 422–362 AH/ 973–1035 CE) was an Iraqi Sunni scholar. He was considered the leading Maliki jurist of his age. He was a seminal figure of the now extinct Iraqi faction of the Maliki school. Qadi 'Abd al-Wahhab is also remembered for his knowledge of Arabic literature and poetry. He is known by the title Qadi meaning judge in Arabic, as he was a prominent judge in Abbasid Siirt and Badra. He is best known for his work al-Talqin on Maliki fiqh which is still studied today, particularly for its recording of the positions of the Iraqi school of the Maliki madhab.
