Shaykh al-Shuyūkh Ibn Ḥammūyah said: “When I entered the land I inquired about Ibn Rushd, and I was told that he was under house arrest by order of the caliph Yaʿqūb, no one being allowed to visit him, because objectionable statements had been reported about him and the proscribed sciences had been attributed to him. He died, a prisoner in his own home at Marrakesh, toward the end of the year four.”

Another source says that he died in Ṣafar (1), and it is also reported that his death occurred in Rabīʿ al-Awwal (2) of the year five.

(1) This is the wording given by Ibn al-Abbar in al-Takmila and by al-Mundhiri in his Takmila. (2) Ibn al-Abbar cites this report on the authority of Ibn Furqad.
