Although the relationship between the ruling authority and scholars in the Mamluk era was characterized by friendliness and respect for most of the times, This is because the authority is keen on getting closer to the scholars so that their state is a place of trust and acceptance by private and public, However, that relationship often showed tension and disagreements as a result of the positions of some scholars contrary to the approach of those in power and their wrong and illegal behavior.

These scholars faced all kinds of intellectual intimidation and physical persecution from the authority.
