al-Bahūtī (born, Bahūt, Egypt—died July 1641, Cairo) was a teacher and the last major exponent in Egypt of the Ḥanbalī school of Islamic law.
Little is known about al-Bahūtī except that he spent nearly all of his life teaching and practicing Ḥanbalī law. His legal writings, although not original, are noted for their clarity and are still used in Egypt.
