قبة الامام الشافعي

The Mausoleum of Imam al-Shafi'i (Arabic: قبة الإمام الشافعي) is a mausoleum dedicated to al-Shafi'i, founder of the homonymous school (madhhab) of Sunni Islamic jurisprudence. Located at the Imam Shafi'i Street in the City of the Dead, Cairo, the mausoleum is a hallmark of Ayyubid style architecture and historical significance. Imam al-Shafi'i travelled to Cairo in 813, where he taught at the Mosque of Amr ibn al-As, before his death in 819. He was buried by his child Ibn Abdulhakim in the place of turbah in the City of the Dead. Later, the Ayyubid sultan Salah ad-Din built a turbah and madrasa for Shafi'i in 1176, marking the first establishment on his grave.
