Question Dear
Brothers/Sisters In Islaam: AssalaamuAlaikum! I was wondering if you could give me a little bit of information about Sheikh Usmah Al Khayyat, Sheikh Ali Al Huzaife, and Sheikh Ali Jabir. (Like a little biography.) Also, could you
give me the names of all the Imaams who currently lead prayers in both the
Haram'ain (Makkah and Madinah). Shukrun! Wasalaam Answer Wa alaikum

apologize for the delay in answering this question, but it took quite a while

inclusive list. Usaamah bin
