No source consulted publishes a birth date for him, so no birth date is recorded here. ^{2 3}

He took his bachelor's degree from the College of Sharia in Riyadh in 1415/1416 AH, his master's in comparative fiqh from the Higher Judicial Institute of Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University in 1418 AH, and his doctorate in comparative fiqh from the same institute in 1421 AH with distinction and first-class honours; his doctoral thesis was an edition of Al-Bayan fi'l-Fiqh al-Shafi'i by al-Umrani. ^{1 2}

This section sets out what the sources report; it is not a verdict by the museum.

The Arabic Wikipedia infobox gives his school of law as Hanbali, his affiliation as Ahl al-Sunna wa'l-Jama'a and his creed as Athari. It is a single infobox attestation, its structured data drawn from Wikidata; neither his own CV on his official website nor his Shamela biography names a school for him, and the texts he has edited are subjects, not affiliations — they include Hanbali manuals and the Shafi'i work whose edition was his doctorate. No school is therefore recorded for him in the museum's data, and the infobox attestation is stated here in full. ^{1 2 3}

No independent critical coverage of him was found in the sources consulted, and the museum records only what the registered sources establish. ³
