Hamoud al-Aqla al-Shuebi (Arabic: حمود العقلاء الشعيبي‎‎ see below for different transliterations) (died late 2001[1]) was a Saudi-born Islamic cleric.[2]

He has been seen as a radical element[3] since at least 1994 when he was quoted by Osama bin Laden in his Open Letter to Bin Baz on the Invalidity of his Fatwa on Peace with the Jews, and several weeks after the Invasion of Afghanistan.[4]

He was particularly famous for comments in support of the 9/11 attacks and for a Fatwa praising the Taliban shortly after their destruction of the Buddha sculptures in Bamiyan[5] for creating "the only country in the world in which there are no man-made laws".[6] CIA accused many innocent Guantanamo detainee of obeying his fatwa and used it to torture them without any evidence .[1][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]

"al-Shuebi School" legacy

Some students of al-Oqala al-Shu’aybi, make up what has been called the “al-Shu’aybi (al-Shuebi) school”, based out of the very conservative city of Buraydah, capital of al-Qasim Province in Saudi Arabia. The most important of his students are Nasir al-Fahd, Ali al-Khudair, Hamoud al-Khaldi, and Sulaiman Al-Elwan.[5] As of 2010, the four had been in prison since 2003, following the May 2003 suicide bombings of residential compounds in Riyadh that killed 34 people, and which they reportedly supported.[5][20] The school helped legitimized the jihadi movement’s fight against the Saudi state and aided in the recruitment of new supporters when the movement began to emerge in Saudi Arabia in late-1999 and early-2000.[5]
