Muhammad Alawi al-Maliki
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
(Redirected from Muhammad al-Maliki)
Al- Sayyid Muhammad ibn Alawi ibn Abbas al-Maliki (1947 - 2004) was a prominent Islamic scholar from Saudi Arabia. He was born in Mecca to a family of reputed scholars who, like himself, taught in the Sacred Mosque.
Whereas Salafism(known to some as Wahhabism) is the official branch of Islam in Saudi Arabia, al-Maliki adhered to the Maliki traditional school of Islamic jurisprudence, and was a renowned teacher of Sufism. Because of this difference with the Wahhabi religious establishment, al-Maliki has been accused of heresy, banned from preaching at the Sacred Mosque, had his passport revoked, and has even been arrested.
