The English article's infobox, a single unreferenced infobox family, gives denomination Sunni, jurisprudence Maliki, creed Athari and movement Salafi. Its text reports that he and fellow detainees saw themselves as 'normal Sunni Muslims with a Salafist orientation', a movement description for which the museum's faith values have no entry, and calls him an expert in both the Zahiri and Maliki schools of law, which is expertise in a subject, not an affiliation. The Arabic article's infobox leaves the religion field empty and its text names no school; the Urdu article is a translation of the Arabic; the French stub's only affiliation word is 'salafiste' inside a cited headline; Wikidata gives Islam only. The Maliki value therefore rests on one infobox family and the Salafi description names no madhhab, so the value is recorded unknown.",

Identity is grounded on the full name Mohamed Hassan Echerif El Kettani, the birth at Salé on 16 August 1972 and the 2003–2012 imprisonment biography, matching the queue line 'Sheikh Hassan El-Kettani — 1964–Living' except for the birth year, which no source supports (see the born note). Existence was checked before writing by filename fragments (kettani, kattani, ketani), by Arabic label and by QID across data/person/: no record existed for him; data/person/muhammad-ibn-abd-al-kabir-al-kettani.yaml is the earlier Moroccan scholar Muhammad ibn Abd al-Kabir al-Kettani (d. 1909), a different man of the same family. Relations are written only where the target exists: of the teachers the English article names, Muhammad Abu Khubza and the two al-Ghumari brothers have museum records, while Muhammad ibn al-Uthaymin, Abu Bakr al-Jazaeri and Abdul Qader Arnaoot do not, so no student_of edge is written for them; the edges are written in Kettani's own record, Kettani being the student and each named man his teacher.",
