Correct Answer:

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option 2- Aurangzeb

Fatwa-i-Alamgiri, a digest of Muslim laws, was written during the period of Aurangzeb.

Nadir Shah was a Persian king who invaded India in the 18th century. Feroz Shah Tughlaq was a Tughlaq dynasty ruler who lived in the 14th century. Tipu Sultan was a ruler of the Mysore Kingdom who lived in the 18th century.

Aurangzeb was the sixth Mughal emperor. He was a devout Muslim and was determined to implement Sharia law in the Mughal Empire. He commissioned a group of scholars to compile a digest of Muslim laws, which became known as the Fatwa-i-Alamgiri.

The Fatwa-i-Alamgiri is a comprehensive work that covers all aspects of Islamic law, including personal law, family law, criminal law, and constitutional law. It was the most authoritative work on Islamic law in the Mughal Empire and was used by the courts to settle legal disputes.

The Fatwa-i-Alamgiri is still used today by some Muslims as a source of Islamic law. However, it is important to note that the Fatwa-i-Alamgiri was written in a specific historical context and may not be applicable to all situations today.
