Overview
Ibn Hajar's father, Nur al-Din Ali ibn Muhammad, died on Wednesday 23 Rajab 777 (19 December 1375); his mother Tudidar had died earlier, leaving him a full orphan. His father had studied law and begun a judicial career he was forced to abandon, and was a devoted writer of occasional poetry 1. Ibn Hajar later remembered him only dimly, 'like some unreal phantom of the imagination'; the Karimi merchant Zaki al-Din Abu Bakr ibn Ali al-Kharrubi was named his principal guardian 1.
