Abstract

This research aims to monitor the religious functions that the Hanafis assumed in Egypt in the era of the Mamluk Sultans, because this would highlight the position the Hanafis reached in this era, and to reveal the role they played in Egypt during the Mamluk era, and to reflect the image of sectarian activity in This era.
The research dealt with the functions of the Hanafis in the Mamluk state in Egypt, the most important of which was the judiciary, as the Hanafite judges controlled many of the joints of the Mamluk state. .
These jobs were not limited to the judiciary, but included the calculation. Some of them also undertook the fieldwork for some work in the state, such as the jawali, the habas, and the keswa.
To achieve the previous goals, the research relied on the inductive approach that helped to extrapolate the texts and analyze their content to find out the religious functions that the Hanafis assumed in Egypt in the era of the Mamluk Sultans, and the descriptive method to clarify how they assumed them and monitor the conditions and incidents in which they arrived to assume these functions.
