Rabeeʿ bin Hādī ʿUmayr al-Madkhalī (Arabic: ربيع بن هادي عمير المدخلي; born 1933) is a Saudi Muslim scholar who is the eponym of the Madkhali strain of Salafism, which is influenced by his teachings.[4][3] He was formerly a professor at the Islamic University of Madinah, where he headed the Sunnah Studies Department.[5][3] He was most active in the 1990s and early 2000s. He was praised by fellow Salafi scholars al-Uthaymin and Ibn Baz.[1][6] Another Salafi scholar called al-Albani also praised him and described him as the leader of criticism and praise (Arabic: إمام الجرح والتعديل, romanized: Imam al-Jarh wal-Tad’il), although he himself later rejected the title.[3][1][6] He is reverentially known as ash-Shaykh al-Allāmah among his Salafi followers,[2] and Shaykh Dr. Khalid al-Dhafiri has described him as a Mujaddid.[7]
