| Summary: | Abstract This study examines two fatwās issued by Taqī al-Dīn al-Subkī in the mid-14-century regarding the Shāmīyah Madrasah of Damascus.

The existence of the post, which has not been noted in scholarship on pre-modern Islamic education to date, shows that madrasah students were more organized in this context than has been realized and raises questions about the institutional character of the madrasah. |
