The Shafii Fiqh List: About Shaykh Amjad Rasheed

Shaykh Amjad Rasheed is a young Palestinian scholar who has studied Sacred Law (with an emphasis on Shafi'i fiqh) for several years with top scholars in Syria, Jordan, and Hadramawt.  He has received numerous ijazas to impart his knowledge to others from the scholars that he sat with.  Recently, he completed his PhD in Islamic Law for a critical edition and annotation of Imam Ghazali's Khulasat al-Mukhtasar.  A student of Shaykh Nuh Keller, he currently lives in Amman and gives public lessons in Shafi'i fiqh and other subjects in Shaykh Nuh's zawiya.

Questions received by the Shafi'i list are translated to Arabic and sent to Shaykh Amjad, whose replies are then translated back into English and posted on the list.  In-sha'Allah in the near future, Shaykh Amjad will be giving lessons in Shafi'i fiqh over the internet at www.sunnipath.com.  These lessons will be translated so that English-speakers can benefit from him as well.
