The Fatwa-i-Alamgiri, a major compilation of Islamic law, was commissioned by:
Aurangzeb
The Fatawa-i-Alamgiri (also called Al-Fatawa al-Hindiyya) is a compilation of Hanafi Islamic law prepared by a board of scholars under Shaikh Nizamuddin Burhanpuri.
It was commissioned by the Mughal emperor Aurangzeb, whose title was 'Alamgir' — the work is named after him.
Akbar was known for his liberal policy of Sulh-i-kul and Din-i-Ilahi, Jahangir for his 'chain of justice', and Shah Jahan for his architecture such as the Taj Mahal; none of them commissioned this legal digest.
Hence, the Fatwa-i-Alamgiri was commissioned by Aurangzeb.
