Background and education

He is a Saudi Professor of Islamic Law at Imam Muhammad ibn Saud Islamic University[1] and a member of the Teacher’s Board, al-Imam University. In the past, he taught at the Institute of Islamic and Arabic Sciences in America (IIASA).[2]

Al-Fawzan speaks frequently on Saudi TV, and has reportedly been highly critical of Christianity and the United States.[3] Of Christians he has reportedly said, "Someone who denies Allah, worships Christ, son of Mary, and claims that God is one third of a trinity – so you like these things he says and does? Don’t you hate the faith of such a polytheist who says God is one third of a trinity, or who worships Christ, son of Mary?"

He, however, further commented that Muslims should have positive hatred, which is to feel compassion and mercy and to try to help people convert to Islam and submit to one god.[3] Of America and the 2008 economic crisis, he said, "America is collapsing, according to the same scenario of the Russian collapse." [4]

Abdul Razzaq al-Mahdi, Nabil Al-Awadi, Tariq Abdelhaleem, and Hani al-Sibai who are linked to Al-Qaeda, in addition to others like Adnan al-Aroor, Abd Al-Aziz Al-Fawzan, Mohamad al-Arefe, Abdul Rahman Al-Sudais, Abdul-Aziz ibn Abdullah Al Shaykh and others were included on a death list by ISIS.[5]
