Question:
In the caravan of da'wah, truly, during this blessed journey from the beginnings of education and your enrollment in the college and your teaching there, Shaykh Salih, there must be many personalities whom you were influenced by and who had an impact on your life and on your orientation toward seeking religious knowledge, or more accurately, we say there are many shaykhs from whom you studied and received knowledge. Is it possible for us to hear from your eminence some, or the most prominent, of these names?
Answer:
Praise be to Allah. I learned from many teachers in the stages of education, and I benefited from them, praise be to Allah, and may Allah reward them with the best reward for me and my colleagues. But among the most prominent from whom I benefited among the people of knowledge...
In the primary stage, there were two: my shaykh, Shaykh Ibrahim ibn Dayf Allah al-Yusuf, at al-Shamasiyyah School, and then the honorable Shaykh Ibrahim ibn 'Abd al-Muhsin ibn 'Ubayd in Buraydah, when I was in the sixth year of primary school, because I completed primary school at al-Faysaliyyah School in the city of Buraydah, and he was a teacher there. I benefited from him in the knowledge of fiqh and tawhid. And I read some recitation to him in the mosque.
And as for the intermediate and secondary stages, I benefited from many shaykhs, both Saudis and others who were appointed to teach there. Among the most prominent: Shaykh Salih ibn 'Abd al-Rahman Sukayti (may Allah have mercy on him), from whom I benefited in fiqh and tawhid. Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd Allah al-Sabil (may Allah preserve him), from whom I benefited in the knowledge of fara'id and inheritance. And Shaykh Salih ibn Ibrahim al-Balihi (may Allah have mercy on him), from whom I benefited in the knowledge of fiqh. These are among the most prominent from whom I benefited in fiqh and tawhid.
And as for the higher stage at the College of Sharia, I benefited from the honorable Shaykh, the scholar, our Shaykh, Shaykh Muhammad al-Amin al-Shanqiti (may Allah have mercy on him), in the subject of usul al-fiqh. And I also benefited from the honorable Shaykh, the scholar, Shaykh 'Abd al-Razzaq 'Afiifi (may Allah have mercy on him), in the subject of usul and the subject of 'aqidah, the knowledge of tawhid. And I also benefited in fiqh from, although the period with him was short, the honorable scholar and jurist Shaykh 'Abd Allah ibn Salih al-Khalifi (may Allah have mercy on him).
These are among the most prominent from whose knowledge I benefited, and I benefited from our Egyptian shaykhs in the knowledge of the Arabic language, morphology, and rhetoric and eloquence. I benefited from exceptional scholarly figures among them, may Allah forgive their deceased and preserve their living. These are among the most prominent who influenced me. During my period of study in Buraydah, I attended the lessons of the scholar Shaykh 'Abd Allah ibn Muhammad ibn Hamid (may Allah have mercy on him). His lessons were in fiqh, tawhid, grammar, and fara'id, and they coincided with my lessons at the institute. Therefore, I attended his lessons and kept them close, because they were an explanation of the lessons I received at the Scientific Institute. Yes.
