Adnan Muhammad al-Arur

ʿAdnān Ibn Muḥammad al-ʿArʿūr ( Arabic عدنان بن محمد العرعور), (* 1948 in Hama ) is a Sunni religious scholar from Syria. Among other things, he became known for his critical debates and his research on the Shiites and Sufis based on his Salafist worldview. Adnan al-ʿArʿūr has lived in the Saudi Arabian capital Riyadh since the suppression of the Muslim Brotherhood in Hama in 1982 .

Teaching

Adnan al-ʿArʿūr studied with some influential scholars. These included Muḥammad al-Ḥāmid, al-Albānī , Muḥammad Nasīb al-Rafāʿī, Muḥammad ʿAbd al-ʿAbbāsī and the last Grand Mufti of Saudi Arabia Ibn Bāz .

Al-ʿArʿūr and the Syrian conflict

Since the beginning of the Syrian protests in 2011, al-ʿArʿūr has appeared several times on the Saudi satellite channel al-Safa. He stands out for his critical comments against non-Sunni people. Although he has officially spoken out in favor of a peaceful, non- armed revolution several times, in June 2011 he threatened Alawis loyal to the regime with murder. In Syrian circles he is sometimes seen as a well-known symbol of the opposition.
