Biography

Arnaoot received his initial religious training with Hanafi scholars, before breaking with them to continue his quest for knowledge through self-teaching.[1] Among his students was Hassan al-Kattani, who learned Hadith studies from Arnaoot.

The Ba'ath government banned Arnaoot from giving lectures and teaching.[2] Arnaoot died in 2004 in Damascus under quasi-house arrest and without leaving a successor.[2]
