التّقارُب والتّوافق بين المالكيَّة والشّافعيّة في مِصر خِلال العَصْرَين الأيُّوبي والمَمْلُوكِي (567-923هـ/1171-1517م)

This article includes a study on the relations between the Malikis and the Shafi’is in Egypt during the Ayyubid and Mamluk eras, and it mainly aims to clarify the aspects of rapprochement and harmony between them during that period, which for other researchers was a fertile material for images of sectarian fanaticism that led to the difference between the Islamic nation.

The study showed various channels whose features are closeness and openness between the two sects, which made us decide - as a conclusion - that this is the original principle in dealing between the Sunni sects, and the refined model that should be generalized to the rest of the sects. - Especially the Sunni ones - to show the bright side of it and not be tempted by those who advocate intimidation and distortion, so he falls into the trap of sectarian fanaticism that leads to division and diaspora among Muslims and we are in dire need of bridging the rift and uniting the word. 

Keywords: Egypt, the Ayyubid and Mamluk periods, the convergence and compatibility between the sects, the Maliki sect, the Shafi`i sect.
