He excelled in his studies, learning the Sura Maryam in a single day and progressing in the memorization of texts like the Koran, then the shortened version of the works of Ibn al-Hajib on the fundamentals of Fiqh. When he accompanied al-Kharrubi to Mecca at the age of 12 he was considered capable of leading the prayers of Taraweeh during Ramadan. When his mentor died in 1386, Ibn Hajar's education in Egypt was entrusted to a scholar versed in Hadith , Shams al-Din ibn al-Qattan who did attend classes given by al-Bulqini (d. 1404) and Ibn al-Mulaqqin (d. 1402) in the field of Fiqh Shafi'i and Zayn al-Din al-'Iraqi (d. 1404) in the field of hadith, until he surrenders to Damascus and Jerusalem to study under the guidance of Shams al-Din al-Qalqashandi (d. 1407), Badr al-Din al-tags (d. 1401) and Fatima bint al-Manja al-Tanukhiyya (d. 1401).
