Fanari's family history and his birthplace are not well known. His nasab, 'Fanari', has been explained in different ways in the sources. It has variously been related to a town in Transoxiana, to a town near Bursa in Anatolia and to his father's profession as a lamp maker.[2] He studied under Mevlânâ Alâuddîn Esved, Cemâleddîn Aksarâyî, Hamîduddîn-i Kayserî. He traveled to Egypt, which was then under the rule of the Mamluk Sultanate, to study Hanafi jurisprudence under Ekmeleddîn el-Bâberti. Ottoman Sultan Bayezid I subsequently appointed Fanari judge (qadi) of Bursa in 1390. The death of Bayezid I precipitated a civil war, which caused Fanari to leave the country, after which he lectured in Egypt and in Hejaz (part of present-day Saudi Arabia). He thereafter sought employment in the court of the ruler of the Karamanoğlu Beylik, where he wrote his text on legal theory. In 1421, Murad II ascended the throne as the sixth Ottoman Sultan and recalled Fanari to the court in Bursa. In 1424 Murad appointed him as the qādī of the military, a position which would evolve over the next century into the Sheikh ul-Islam.[3] Fanari held this position in addition to his other positions as professor and judge. He retained all three positions until the end of his life in Bursa in 1431.[4]
