Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Mukhtar al-Shanqiti is a contemporary Mauritanian-descended Islamic scholar and jurist who teaches at the Prophet's Mosque in Madinah .

Lineage and Education

His full name is Muhammad ibn Muhammad al-Mukhtar ibn Muhammad al-Jakani al-Shanqiti . He was raised and educated under the direct tutelage of his father, the scholar and hadith specialist Muhammad al-Mukhtar ibn Muhammad ibn Ahmad Mazyad al-Jakani al-Shanqiti (d. 1405 AH / 1985 CE), who was also an instructor at the Prophet's Mosque .

From an early age, his father regularly brought him to his public study circles throughout the day at the Prophet's Mosque as well as his home lessons, where the young al-Shanqiti would at times fall asleep in his father's lap during sessions. When he reached the age of fifteen, his father instructed him to sit before him and read the lesson texts aloud in the mosque gatherings, commencing his formal reading with Sunan al-Tirmidhi .

His legal instruction includes an extensive commentary on Sharaf al-Din al-Hajjawi's Hanbali legal manual Zad al-Mustaqni, which was transcribed and published by Saudi Arabia's General Presidency of Scholarly Research and Ifta . In contemporary applied jurisprudence, he authored Ahkam al-Jiraha al-Tibbiyya wa al-Athar al-Mutarattiba Alayha ("Rulings on Medical Surgery and Their Resulting Consequences"), an academic treatise examining the legal status, ethical limits, and liabilities associated with surgical procedures under Islamic law .
