Salman al-Ouda Biography

Salman al-Ouda is one of the most popular and richest Saudi Author who was born on December 14, 1956 in Al-Qassim Region, Saudi Arabia.

Salman bin Fahd bin Abdullah al-Ouda (Arabic: سلمان بن فهد بن عبد الله العودة ‎) or Salman al-Ouda (Arabic: سلمان العودة ‎), Salman al-Oadah, Salman al- Audah, or Salman al-Awdah (Arabic: سلمان بن فهد العودة ‎) – kunya: Abu Mu’ad (أبو معاذ)- (born 1955 or 1956) is a Saudi cleric and Muslim scholar. Al-Ouda is a member of the International Union for Muslim Scholars and on its board of trustees. He is a director of the Arabic edition of the website Islam Today and appears on a number of TV shows and authors newspaper articles.

The 1990–1991 Gulf Crisis and War, in which an American-led coalition of forces aligned against the Iraqi regime of Saddam Hussein in response to its seizure of Kuwait, proved an opportunity for al-Ouda and others to tap into an already-existing current of discontent within the Kingdom. When the then-Grand Mufti Abd al-Aziz bin Baz issued a fatwa lending Islamic justification for the regime to invite American forces to defend Saudi Arabia from Hussein, al-Ouda raised questions about the ability of the Saudi military to defend the Kingdom with so much investment in U.S. armaments. During the war, al-Ouda was a moving force behind two reform petitions addressed to the King. The first, in 1991, was known as the Letter of Demands and was signed by leading Saudi religious, mercantile, and socially prominent figures seeking changes in the form of government, notably the establishment of a Shura (consultative) Council. A year later, the second petition, known as the Memorandum of Advice, which was signed by more than one hundred religious scholars, including establishment Ulama, called for a Shura Council as well as media censorship under religious guidance and review of all the kingdom’s laws to insure their conformity with Shari’a. Both petitions expressed loyalty to the house of Sa’ud while opposing the lack of representation in the existing government. Meanwhile, audiotapes of al-Ouda’s sermons gained wide circulation and encouraged to other opposition voices after the first Gulf War, as the United States military settled in for a long stay at an airbase outside the capital.
