'Khalil ibn Ishaq al-Jundi' (d.1374) was an Egyptian jurisprudent in Maliki Islamic law. His Mukhtasar, known as ''Mukhtasar of Khalil'', is considered an epitome of ''shariah'' law according to the Maliki ''madhhab'', and is regarded as the most authoritative legal manual by North and West African Muslims.^[1]
