A Brief Biography of Shaykh Hasan al-Kattani

Shaykh al-Sayyid al-Musnid Mohammed Hasan al-Kattani originates from a

family of Muhaditheen and Maliki Ulama that goes back centuries with his

lineage traceable to the Prophet Mohammed[i] (Sululahoo alayhi

wassalam). He is extremely fortunate to have started memorizing the

Quran and Hadith at a very tender as is custom in his family, many of

whom were leading scholars of the 20th century of whom the most famous

were Shaykh Abdul Hayy al-Kattani, Shaykh Mohammedd ibn Jafar

al-Kattani, Shaykh Muntasir Kattani, Shaykh Mohammed Baqir Kattani (May

Allah have mercy on them). Shaykh Hasan continues this tradition of

Islamic scholarship well into the 21st century by the regular classes

that he gives to students in Morocco.

Amongst the dozens of scholars that he has studied and received Ijazah

(authorization) from are: Shaykh Abdul Qadir al-Arnauat, Shaykh Abdul

Aziz ibn Siddeeq al-Ghumari, Shaykh Abdul Hay ibn Siddeeq al-Ghumari,

Shaykh Abdullah ibn Siddeeq al-Ghumari, Shaykh Mohammed Muntasir

al-Kattani, Shaykha Nafisa al-Kattaniyyah, Shaykh Mohammed Tayyib

al-Kattani, Shaykh Mohammed Bu Khubza.

Shaykh has also studied and graduated from universities in Morocco and

Jordan and holds a Master's Degree in combined Fiqh and Usool. He is a

prolific author and has written in various fields including Maliki and

Dhahiri Fiqh, Islamic Politics, Fiqh al-Hadith, Usool al-Hadith and

Biographies of the Sahabah.

Shaykh has been invited to teach in many countries around the world

including Switzerland, Australia, North America, Canada, Malaysia,

Singapore, Tunisia and Qatar as well as meeting Ulama and studying in

Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia, Algeria, Pakistan and Morocco where he

currently resides with his family.

We are greatly honoured to have Shaykh Hasan (May Allah preserve him)

dedicating his precious time to Cordoba Academy and its students and

warmly welcome him.
