Shaykh Muhammad Ibn Saalih Ibn
'Uthaymeen
*Please
appropriately reference this biography to:
www.fatwa-online.com,
thankyou!*
Abu 'Abdullaah Muhammad
ibn Saalih ibn Muhammad ibn 'Uthaymeen
at-Tameemee an-Najdee was born in the city
of Unayzah, Qaseem Region on 27th Ramadhaan
1347 A.H./1926 C.E. in a famous religious
family.
He received his
education from many prominent scholars like
Shaykh 'Abdur-Rahmaan
as-Sa'dee, Shaykh Muhammad Ameen
ash-Shanqeetee and Shaykh
'Abdul-'Azeez ibn Baaz.
When he entered into teaching, a
great number of students from inside and outside Saudi Arabia
benefited from him. He had his own unique style of interpretation
and explanation of religious points. He was from among those
scholars who served Islaam without any type of religious prejudice
and kept themselves away from the limitations of blind-following.
He was distinguished in his great exertion of effort in religious
matters and analogical deductions which clearly prove the
religious understanding he possessed, and the correct usage
of the principles of religion, he adopted.
In giving
religious verdicts, like Shaykh ibn
Baaz, his Fataawa were based on
evidence from the Qur.aan and Sunnah. He had about fifty
compilations to his credit. He taught
Religious Fundamentals at the Sharee'ah
Faculty of Imaam Muhammad ibn Sa'ood
Islaamic University, Qaseem Branch. He was
also a member of the Council of Senior
Scholars of the Kingdom, and the Imaam and
Khateeb of the big Mosque of Unayzah
city.
The Shaykh passed away on Wednesday
15 Shawwaal 1421 A.H. / 10 January 2001
C.E. He was 74 years of age. May Allaah
(subhaanahu wa ta'aala) have Mercy upon
his soul, aameen.
