Salam. As you some of you maybe aware, the ‘Fatawa Alamgiri’ or ‘Fatawa al-Hindiyyah’ as it is better known outside the Indian subcontinent was compiled by a panel of scholars on the orders of the Moghul Emperor Alamgir. Perhaps Hanafi fiqh experts can comment in greater detail regarding its merits and importance within the madhab. I found the following incident mentioned by Shah Waliullah which sheds some light on the process of the works codification.
