The first mention of this Cairene mosque is its renovation in 951 AH / 1547 CE. There was a further restoration in 1171 AH / 1768 CE. In 1859, a complete reconstruction of the building was planned and implemented by Julius Franz in his capacity as director of the Technical Waqf Department, a role he held between 1881 and 1887 (Volait, 2005, pp. 153, 431). In 1940, the building was renovated again.

Prisse d’Avennes published a stucco and glass window from the mosque in 1877 (1869–1877, vol. 3, pl. CXLIV).
