This section should be read as a presentation of what the sources give, not as a verdict of the museum.

His official biography and the Muslim Central biography describe degrees in Shariah, judiciary and comparative fiqh and posts with Knowledge International University, Mercy Mission World and AlKauthar. ^{1 2} Degree subjects, teachers and institutional affiliations are not a school attestation, and no source consulted names a legal school for him personally, so no faith value is recorded for him.
