Abdul-Muhsin al-Abbad is a Salafi Islamic scholar from Saudi Arabia. He is a former professor of the Islamic University of Madinah and is considered to be one of the foremost muhaddiths of the 20th and 21st centuries.[1][2][3]
Early life and education
al-Abbad was born in April 1934 in al-Zulfi City, Saudi Arabia.[4] There, he completed his early education and learned to read and write. From there, he moved to Riyadh where he studied at an Islamic Educational Institute.[5] Coincidentally, Shaykh Ibn Baz happened to join the institute as a teacher at the same time as Shaykh Abdul-Muhsin.[1] There, he was peers with Shaykh Muhammad Aman al-Jami.[3][6] After graduation, he attended Mohammad Ibn Saud Islamic University where he enrolled in the college of Shariah. During his senior year, he started working in the Educational Center in Buraydah City. While in Riyadh, he studied under Muhammad ibn Ibrahim, Ibn Baz, and Muhammad al-Amin al-Shinqiti.[5][3][4] When the Islamic University of Madinah was opened, he was selected to teach as a professor in the College of Shariah. He spent 15 years at the university being a part of the university's head committee and being vice president of the school for 2 years and then president for 4 years followed by his own resignation as president.[4][6] He was also known to have added over 500,000 manuscripts and scholarly references to the Islamic University's library during his time as president.[1][6]
He was also known for teaching in Masjid al-Haram and Masjid al-Nabawi regularly until his retirement on December 9, 2022.[7]
