'Abdullah al-Harari (Arabic:عبد الله الهرري) (1906 – September 2, 2008) was an Ethiopianmuhaddith[2] and scholar ofIslamicjurisprudence. He lived and taught inBeirut,Lebanon.
Al-Harariyy was born in 1906 inHarar,Ethiopia.[3]
In 1983, he foundedAl-Ahbash, aBeirut-based organization also known as the Association of Islamic Charitable Projects (AICP).[4] Al-Ahbash is aSufi religious movement.[5] Due to the group's origins and activity in Lebanon, the Ahbash have been described as the "activist expression of Lebanese Sufism."[6]
Al-Harariyy was one of theUlama signatories of theAmman Message. Issued in 2004, the statement gives a broad foundation for defining Muslim orthodoxy.[7] He was also licensed as a Shaykh byAl-Azhar University's branch inLebanon.[6][8]
Al-Harariyy died of natural causes on September 2, 2008, aged 102.[4]
Al Harariyy held controversial views regardingMuawiyah,Aisha, and others. He believed that they were wrong for rebelling againstRashidun CaliphAli bin Abi Talib during thefirst fitna and he criticized them for it in his book, al-Dalil al-Sharʿi ʿala Ithbat man Qaatalahum ʿAli min Sahabi aw Tabiʿi, (The legal proof establishing the wrongdoings of the companions and successors whom Ali fought). This is a position that runs contrary to the orthodoxSunni view, which maintains neutrality in regard to disputes amongcompanions.[9]
