Rabi' bin Hadi 'Umayr al-Madkhali was a Saudi Arabian Islamic scholar and professor at the Islamic University of Madinah, where he headed the Sunnah Studies Department. He remained active throughout his life in the field of Islamic scholarship and daʿwah. He was praised by fellow scholars such as Ibn Baz, Ibn Uthaymin, al-Wadi'i and al-Albani, who described him as the "imam of criticism and praise", although he himself later rejected the title. His will stresses adherence to the Quran, Sunna, and the path of the early generations as essential for the Ummah’s success. He is most widely known for founding the Madkhali movement.
