Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatu Allahi wa barakatuh.

Jazaka Allahu khairan and may this response find you in the highest state of faith and best of health.

   

1. Husayn Abulaziz bin Husayn Aali Ash-Sheikh was raised as a student of knowledge from when he was young. After he attended middle and high school he attended the Sharee’ah College in Riyadh and graduated from it with a score of excellence.  He then entered Al-3aalee lilqadhaa’ institute and received his masters degree also with a score of excellence.  He was awaiting the defense of his doctoral dissertation in 1419 h.  

He was a student of many Shuyookh.  He learned At-Tawheed from Ash-Sheikh Fahd Al-Hamayd, fiqh  and hadeeth from Ash-Sheikh Abdullah Al-Jibreen, he also learned fiqh from Ash-Sheikh Abdulaziz Ad-Dawood.  He also studied under Ash-Sheikh Abdullah Al-Ghadyaan the rules of fiqh and some other lessons.  He attended the lessons of Ash-Sheikh Abdulaziz Bin Baz. 

He started teaching numerous lessons in fiqh , tawheed, hadeeth and rules, in addition to giving lectures at the Grand Mosque in Riyadh and other places.

He was designated as an assistant judge in the year 1406 h, then a judge in 1411 h in the grand court of Najraan. In 1424h he was transferred to the grand court in Riyadh and stayed there until 1418h when he was transferred to the grand court of Al-Medinah Al-Munawwarah.

The high order was later made designating him imam and khateeb of the Prophet’s holy mosque, and he remains there until this date. 

2.  Many Shuyookh know more than one way of recitation, but all the recitations of Sheikh Husayn Aali Ash-Sheikh that we have heard have been in the way of Hafs. He may know more, but his recitation at the Prophet’s mosque is Hafs ‘an ‘Aasim.

3.  Sheikh Al-Husary, may Allah be merciful to him and grant him the highest Paradise , died on the 16th of Muharram 1401 h, (24 Nov. 1980).  To read more about him, please click on:  http://www.abouttajweed.com/071003.htm
