Education
Al-Munajid graduated from King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (KFUPM) in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia, with a Bachelor's degree in Industrial Management.[2]
Al-Munajid studied Islamic law under the scholar 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baaz, who authorized him to teach and give lectures in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia while he had not yet reached the age of thirty. He also studied under the scholars Muhammad ibn al Uthaymeen, Abdullah Ibn Jibreen, Saleh Al-Fawzan, and Abd ar-Rahmaan al-Baraak.[1]
Activities
Al-Munajid is the imam and lecturer at the 'Umar ibn Abd al-'Aziz mosque in the city of Al-Khobar, where he teaches and gives lectures in Sharia and da'wah.
Al-Munajid was the first person to launch a website in Saudi Arabia representing Islam. The site was launched in 1997 and presented in a QA format. It has been translated into 11 languages, in addition to the original Arabic: English, French, Russian, Hindi, Spanish, Urdu, Indonesian, Chinese, Japanese, Turkish and Uyghur.[1]
Al-Munajid has several radio and television programs on channels in Saudi Arabia and throughout the Persian Gulf. He also has over four thousand hours worth of media broadcasts on the internet, including through his website. Most of the content is in Arabic, although some of it is translated into English. Al-Munajid also supervises a group of Islamic websites, Islam.ws.[1]
Al-Munajid was noted as a "radical Saudi cleric" in an Associated Press report on the 2004 Aceh tsunami because he attributed it to divine retribution against non-Muslim vacationers "who used to sprawl all over the beaches and in pubs overflowing with wine" during Christmas break.[3] An article appearing in Frontpage Magazine and Campus Watch similarly describes Al-Munajid as a radical, and quoting several of his fatwas claims that he "stresses violence against non-Muslims and others".[4]
