Sheikh Ahmad Fatani stature can be seen from the aspect of his contributions in fiqh writing which is produced by him. However, not many people want to try to review and highlight the leadership and contribution of Sheikh Ahmad Fatani in his books of fiqh in the light of Islamic teachings in Malaysia whereas Sheikh Ahmad Fatani is a great scholar who is responsible for the spread of Islam in the archipelago.

Hence, to answer these questions, this study has set two objectives which are first, to identify the background of Sheikh Ahmad Fatani and the second objective is to explain the contribution of Sheikh Ahmad Fatani in the field of jurisprudence. Therefore, the data of the study is collected through the literature review in the form of documents. The data are analyzed using content analysis method. In addition, preliminary findings indicate that the contribution of fiqh Sheikh Ahmad Fatani is huge in the field of religion in Malaysia.
