During the 1388–1389 AH academic year, he studied at the Islamic University of Madinah and participated in its student activities.

His research appeared in the student forum section of the university's scholarly journal. In his biographical study Lamahat Tarikhiyya min Hayat Ibn Taymiyya ("Historical Glimpses from the Life of Ibn Taymiyya"), he surveyed the intellectual, social, and political conditions of the seventh and eighth centuries AH, addressing the theological refutations and military leadership of Ibn Taymiyya. He also authored Nazrat fi Hadith Ashabi ka al-Nujum ("Perspectives on the Hadith 'My Companions are like Stars'"), in which he compiled six textual variants of the tradition to evaluate their transmission chains and examine their use in works of legal theory concerning the consensus of the Companions.
