Muhammad al-Khidr Husayn

Muhammad al-Khidr Husayn, the Tunisian scholar who held the shaykhate of al-Azhar and wrote on fiqh, usul, history and adab. The Islamic Research Academy's introduction describes him as educated at the Zaytuna, where he worked as qadi, teacher and writer, and founded the journal al-Sa'ada al-'uzma publishing Islam's virtues and exposing colonialism's methods ¹². The book's cover gives his death as 1377/1958 — a date still needing a second source.
