Shaykh Dr. Gibril Fouad Haddad (born in Beirut, Lebanon, 1960) is an influential Islamic scholar, religious leader, author, and Arabic translator of classical Islamic texts.[1]

Currently residing in Brunei, he was schooled in the United Kingdom, and obtained his PhD degree in French literature at Columbia University in New York. He taught at the State University of New York at Stony Brook for 2 years and in 1997 moved to Damascus where he studied the Islamic disciplines for 9 years.[2]

A disciple of the Lebanese-American (Sunni) Sufi Shaykh Hisham Kabbani and the Turkish Cypriot Shaykh Nazim alQubrusi,[3] Shaykh Haddad follows the Shafi`i Madh'hab and the Naqshbandi Tariqa.[4]

He is a hadith expert (muhaddith),[1] recognized as one of the world’s leading authorities on the Shari’ah,[5] who was formerly a teacher of Fiqh at SunniPath,[6] an online Islamic Academy, and now runs the Living Islam (livingislam.org) website.

In 2009, he was listed amongst the inaugural "500 most influential Muslims in the world," and was referred to as "one of the clearest voices of traditional Islam in the West".[1]

Like Shaykh Kabbani,[7] Shaykh Haddad is also a vocal opponent of Salafi fundamentalism[8] and has condemned the Islamic Circle of North America (ICNA), the Islamic Society of North America (ISNA), and the World Assembly of Muslim Youth.[9][10]
