Al-Hasan Badr al-Din ibn Idris (Arabic: الحسن بدرالدين بن إدريس, romanizedal-Ḥasan Badr al-Dīn ibn Idrīs) was the 20th Da'i al-Mutlaq of Tayyibi Isma'ilis in Yemen from 1468 to 1512.

Life

He succeeded his father Idris Imad al-Din in 1468, and held the post until his death in 1512, when he was succeeded by his brother al-Husayn Husam al-Din.[1][2] Al-Hasan encouraged education and bestowed great favors on his students. He used to shower special attention on anyone who came from India.

His son, Muhammad Izz al-Din I, would succeed as the 23rd Da'i al-Mutlaq in 1527, the last from the Banu al-Walid al-Anf family that had dominated the office since the early 13th century.[3]
