In 1303, during the Mamluk period, the mosque was severely damaged by an earthquake and was subsequently restored by Sultan [[Baibars II|Baybars II al-Jashankir]]. By that time, the mosque was also being used to teach Islamic law from the four [[Sunni Islam|Sunni]] ''[[Madhhab|maddhab]]s''.<ref name="Behrens-Abouseif1989" /> In 1360, the mosque was restored again by Sultan [[An-Nasir Hasan|Hasan]]. In the 15th century, a merchant sponsored the construction of a third minaret for the mosque, though this minaret has not been preserved.<ref name="Behrens-Abouseif1989" />

The interior of the mosque fell into ruin over many centuries until its modern renovation, and the building was only intermittently used as a mosque.<ref name="auto" /><ref name=":03" /> At various times, it was used as a prison for captured Franks (i.e. Latin crusaders) during the [[Crusades]], as a stable by [[Saladin]], as a fortress by [[Napoleon]], as an Islamic arts Museum in 1890, and as a boys' school in the 20th century during [[Gamal Abdel Nasser|Nasser]]'s presidency.<ref name=":03" /><ref name="Behrens-Abouseif1989" /> In the early 19th century, the mosque underwent a restoration sponsored by '[[Umar Makram]]. The restoration also added a small mihrab to the interior that is still preserved today, dated to 1808.<ref name="Behrens-Abouseif1989" /><ref name=":03" />
