Hamoud al-Aqla (Arabic:حمود العقلاء; died late 2001),[2][3] commonly known asShaykh al-Shu'aybi (Arabic:الشعيبي,romanized: al-Shuʿaybī) was aSaudi-bornIslamic scholar.[4]
He has been seen as a radical element[5] since at least 1994 when he was quoted byOsama bin Laden in hisOpen Letter to Bin Baz on the Invalidity of his Fatwa on Peace with the Jews, and several weeks after theInvasion of Afghanistan.[6] Al-Shu'aybi authored a bookThe Preferred View on the Ruling of Asking the Infidels for Help, that is said (by ) to have been "seminal in convincing a generation they should stand against—and hate—the encroachments of the West."[7][3]
He supported theSeptember 11 attacks and issued aFatwa praising theTaliban government shortly after their destruction of theBuddha sculptures in Bamiyan[8] for creating "the only country in the world in which there are no man-made laws".[9]
TheCentral Intelligence Agency accused manyGuantanamo detainee of obeying hisfatwa and used it to torture them without any evidence.[10][11]
Some students of al-Shuaybi are based out of the very conservative city ofBuraydah, capital ofal-Qasim Province in Saudi Arabia. The most important of his students areNasir al-Fahd,Ali al-Khudair, Hamoud al-Khaldi, andSulaiman al-Alwan.[8] As of 2010, the four had been in prison since 2003, following theMay 2003 suicide bombings of residential compounds inRiyadh that killed 34 people, and which they reportedly supported.[8][12] The school helped to legitimize the jihadi movement's fight against the Saudi state and aided in the recruitment of new supporters when the movement began to emerge in Saudi Arabia in late-1999 and early-2000.[8]
Then he went to read with His Eminence, ShaykhMuhammad bin Ibraheem Al-ash-Shaykh 1947 CE
