Turki al-Binali
Turki bin Mubarak al-Binali (Arabic: تركي بن مبارك البنعلي, romanized: Turkī bin Mubārak al-Binʿalī; 3 September 1984 – 31 May 2017) was a Bahraini-born Islamist jihadist and theologian. He was one of the ideologues, religious officials and high-ranking members of the Islamic State (IS).
A disciple of a number of Salafi scholars like Ibn Jibrin and Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi, Turki al-Binali was considered the "chief cleric" and mufti of ISIS. He served as the Islamic State's chief qadi, and headed the Maktab al-Buhuth wa al-Dirasat ('Office of Investigation and Studies'), "an independent entity concerned with researching Shari'i issues, and issuing fatwas", as well as writing his own writings and propaganda pamphlets, and hosting a program with fatwas and religious programs on Al-Bayan radio, and thus had great religious authority in the organization. His moderate faction was dominant in ISIS, as opposed to the more extreme Hazimi doctrine.
Turki al-Binali was killed on May 31, 2017, in the Syrian town of Mayadin in an airstrike by the U.S.-led international coalition against the Islamic State.
Turki al-Binali was born on 3 September 1984 in Al-Bousaiteen district, Al Muharraq, Bahrain to a wealthy, notable family that has close political relations to the ruling royal family of Bahrain, the Al-Khalifa. He attended classes that taught remembering the Qur'an in his hometown and he learned the recitation of Qur'an from one of the Sheikhs of Sultan Bin Salama Mosque. He also attended the classes of Sheikh Abu Zaid and another sheikh from Al-Janoubi Mosque in Al-Bousaiteen. He studied both the elementary and middle stages at Al-Iman school, a private religious school and then he studied in the literary section at Al-Hidaya Al-Khalifia Boys high school. As his name indicates, he is from the Al Bin Ali sub-tribal confederation. The Al Bin Ali family are related (by marriage) to the royal family in Bahrain.
in 2003 he lived in Medina and studied under Abdullah al-Ghunayman. At some point he moved to Dubai for higher education in Islamic studies at the College of Islamic and Arabic Studies (Dubai), however he was deported back to Bahrain. Thereafter he studied at Imam Al-Ouza’i School in Beirut and at the Institute for Religious Studies in Bahrain.
He studied under the Saudi scholar Abdullah Ibn Jibreen, a member of the powerful Council of Senior Scholars and Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Issuing Fatwas in Saudi Arabia, as well as the Syrian Zuhayr al-Shawish, the Palestinian-Jordanian Abu Muhammad al-Maqdisi and Moroccan Omar al-Haddouchi. Other teachers include Sheikh Safaa Al-Dawi Al-Adawi and Sheikh Amer Sabri Al-Tamimi.
Al-Maqdisi provided Bin‘ali with a general ijazah authorizing him to teach all of his works. As he wrote in 2009 in the introduction to one of Bin‘ali’s books, "I provided him with an ijaza to teach all of my books when I saw in him extraordinary passion and support for the religion, for God’s unity (tawhid), for jihad, and for the mujahidin. Such passion as this ought not to be met but with backing and support and encouragement. If a shaykh has the right to take pride in any of his students, I am proud of this beloved brother."
He was detained numerous times in multiple countries and banned from entry to the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Egypt, Qatar and others.
