What is the meaning of the word "faqih," and who was the first Egyptian faqih? Thank you.

Fiqh linguistically means understanding and sagacity. This name became predominantly associated with the science of religion due to its honor and supremacy over other sciences. Some have specifically defined it as the knowledge of its branches. It is impossible to identify the first jurist (faqih) in Egypt due to the multitude of jurists who emerged there since the era of the Companions and those who came after them.
