سُبُلُ السَّلَامِ شَرْحُ نَوَاقِضِ الْإِسْلَامِ.

Paths of Peace: An Explanation of the Nullifiers of Islam.

وَحُسْنُ خُلُقٍ.. وَيُفِيدُ الْمُتَعَلِّمَ وَيُرْشِدُ الْجَاهِلَ وَيَزْدَادُ عُلُوًّا فِي الْعِلْمِ وَالْمَعْرِفَةِ وَبَذْلِ الْعَطَاءِ مِنَ الْمَعْلُومَاتِ وَانْتِشَارِ عِلْمِهِ فِي جَمِيعِ الْأَقْطَارِ..

He possessed noble character, benefiting students, guiding the ignorant, and rising in stature through his knowledge and wisdom. He shared his learning generously, and his influence spread across all lands.

وَقَدْ يَقْرَأُ عَلَيْهِ وَهُوَ يَتَنَاوَلُ الطَّعَامَ حِرْصًا عَلَى إِفَادَةِ الطُّلَّابِ، كَمَا هُوَ دَأْبُ الْعُلَمَاءِ السَّابِقِينَ.

He would even allow students to read to him while he ate, driven by his commitment to their education, just as the scholars of old used to do.

وَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ عَطِيَّةُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سَالِمٍ: يُعَدُّ مِنْ كِبَارِ الْعُلَمَاءِ الْمُجْتَهِدِينَ.

Sheikh Atiyah bin Muhammad bin Salim remarked: He is counted among the great scholars who exercised independent legal reasoning.

وَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ التُّرْكِيُّ: وَالِدُنَا وَشَيْخُنَا الْعَلَّامَةُ فِي مُقَدِّمَةِ عُلَمَاءِ الشَّرِيعَةِ.. عَلَى مُسْتَوَى الْعَالَمِ.

Sheikh Abdullah Al-Turki said: Our father and teacher, this erudite scholar, stands at the forefront of Sharia scholars worldwide.

وَقَالَ تَقِيُّ الدِّينِ الْهِلَالِيُّ فِيهِ: الْعَالِمُ السَّلَفِيُّ نَاصِرُ السُّنَّةِ وَقَامِعُ الْبِدْعَةِ الْوَرِعُ الزَّاهِدُ الْأَوَّابُ.

Taqi al-Din al-Hilali described him as: A Salafi scholar, a defender of the Sunnah, a crusher of innovation, pious, ascetic, and ever-turning to God.

وَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ الْفَنْتُوخُ: حَازَ مِنَ الْمَكَارِمِ مَا لَمْ يَحُزْهُ ذُو سُلْطَانٍ وَلَا ذُو فَصَاحَةٍ وَبَيَانٍ.

Sheikh Abdullah Al-Fantukh said: He attained virtues that neither men of power nor masters of eloquence could ever reach.

وَقَالَ الشَّيْخُ مُحَمَّدٌ الْمَجْذُوبُ: الشَّيْخُ مِنْ كِبَارِ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ بِإِجْمَاعِ الْكِبَارِ مِنْ عُلَمَاءِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ.

Sheikh Muhammad Al-Majthoub said: By the consensus of the leading Muslim scholars, he is one of the greatest authorities on knowledge.

وَلَوْلَا الِاخْتِصَارُ لَذَكَرْتُ مِنَ الثَّنَاءِ عَلَيْهِ مَا يَبْلُغُ الْمُجَلَّدَ.

Were it not for the need for brevity, I could fill an entire volume with praise for him.

تُوُفِّيَ شَيْخُنَا فَجْرَ الْخَمِيسِ فِي ٢٧/١/١٤٢٠هـ - رَحِمَهُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى رَحْمَةً وَاسِعَةً.

Our sheikh passed away at dawn on Thursday, 27/1/1420 AH. May Allah the Exalted grant him vast mercy.
