Rabīʿ bin Hādī ʿUmayr al Madkhalī (Arabic: ربيع بن هادي عمير المدخلي; born 1933) is a Saudi professor who is a former head of the Sunnah Studies Department at the Islamic University of Madinah.[1] He is a Salafi Muslim scholar who is considered to be one of Salafism's prominent thinkers. He was most active in the 90’s and early 2000s where he received praise from other Salafi scholars like Shaykh Salih Ibn Uthaymeen and Shaykh Abdul Aziz Bin Baz . Another prominent Salafi scholar named Imam Al-Albani labelled him the Imam of Jarh Wa Tad’il, (Criticism and praise)which he himself later rejected. [2][3][4]
