I have received the following question from one of the readers of my blog:

(The Question says) I am not sure how much you have noticed, but in the West, their is a campaign to undermine

your personal credentials as an Alim. The all-too-common tactic of attacking the messenger rather than the

message itself is being employed in these campaigns.

We want to be able to refute any false claims against you and support all of your works, wholeheartedly. Can you please provide us information regarding the

Shuyukh that you have learned under in the p ast, and who y ou may be cu rrently learning under? A s well as, the source of your ijaza, etc. This will be very important

in refuting any slanderous attacks against your credibility. (end of Question)

I have received this question in various forms and the frequency of it increased lately. Here is my response: Alhamdulillah I have had the chance to experience the

various methods o f gaining Islamic k nowledge through study ing directly under shuyuk h in their general circles or pr ivately. I have experienced the regular academic

method of university study, studying by correspondence, and study ing directly from book s.

[]

Studying under shuyukh in their general circles:

I have attended the circles of the scholars of Makkah and Madina for a combined period of a few months and for a short w hile attended the circle of Shaykh Ibn

Uthaymeen.

Studying under shuyukh privately:

In addition to an ijaza in Quran recitation according to the recitation of Hafs I have read and completed Sahih al Bukhari with Shaykh AbdulRahman Shumailah al

Ahdal and he has giv en me ijazah to narrate Sahih al Buk hari from him through three high isnaads, one o f them being the highest existing isnaad in the wo rld. The

other two he has received from his shuyukh in Makkah.

I have also read and completed Sahih Muslim and al Muwata by Imam Malik with Shaykh AbdulRahman and he has given me ijazah on both books.

I have studied al Minhaaj by Imaam Nawawi on Shafi fiqh with Shaykh AbdulRahman al Ahdal and Shaykh Hamud al Ahdal and received ijaza from both of them.

The above mentioned shuyukh have also given me ijazah to narrate through their isnaad the six books of Hadith, al Adhkaar by Imaam Nawawi, al Shifa by Qadhi

Iyaad, and some other book s in Shafi fiqh.

I have studied, traveled and lived with Shaykh Hassan al Ahdal and it was through him that I got to study with other scholars from this blessed family of scholars who

are descendants of al Hussain bin Ali may A llah be pleased with them. They are based in al Marawaah in Tihama which is in the Western part of Yemen on the coast of

the Red Sea and this is the land of the Sahabi Abu Musa al Ashari. He has given me a general ijaza in the six books of hadith, Buloogh al Maraam by Ibn Hajjar al

Asqalani, Umdat al Ahkaam by al Maqdisi, al Minhaaj by al Nawawi, al Ghaya wal Taqreeb by Abu Shuja, and al Waraqaat by al Juwaini.

I have spent a short time with Shaykh Salman al Odah.

I have benefited considerably from the scholars I met in the US during the 90s, a time in which there was a great influx of scholars in America.

And last but not least, I have benefited and continue to benefit from the Shaykh whom I trust his deen and know him to be a scholar who does not fear in the sake of

A llah and is willing to stand up for the truth, Shayk h Hussein bin Mahfoodh. He is a friend whose relationship with me extends over the years. Until this day, I consult

with him on the various important aspects of Sharia that I am presented with and I have continued to benefit from his knowledge and wisdom over the years. I have

accompanied him and traveled with him and consider him to be one of the best scholars that I have come to know.

Regular academic university study:

In 2002 I was given permission from the administration of the University of Eman in Yemen to attend any class at any level and I took advantage of this and attended

classes in Tafsir and Fiqh for a period of a few months. I have also benefited from the teachings of Shaykh Abdul Majid al Zindani the Rector of the University.

Studying Sharia by Correspondence:

I studied for two years through correspondence with the Islamic university in France. I lost interest and discontinued my studies with them because I reached the

conclusion that it was not a proper method of disseminating Islamic knowledge. This was in the mid 90s so things must have changed now in the field of

correspondence study due to advances in technology .

Studying from Books:

After receiving the basics from the scholars and the keys of k nowledge, learning from book s is a lifelong practice of the seeker of know ledge.

My Ijazah:

In addition to the ijazas I have mentioned above I have a general ijaza in Quran, Sciences of Quran, Hadith, Sciences of Hadith, Tafsir , Fiqh, Usool Fiqh and Arabic

from:

Shayk h Hassan Maqbooli al Ahdal

Shayk h Hussein bin Mahfoodh

Shayk h A bdulRahman Shumailah al Ahdal

Shayk h Hamud Shumailah al Ahdal
