Indeed a very Learned Mufti Saheb. I myself learnt a lot from Mufti Saheb on many issues. Mufti Saheb has Alhumdulilah left a legacy of many books and kitaabs which will last for many generations. I recall the valuable advise on Hajj and Umrah he gave so clearly as well as the long hours of dedication he gave to educate the Ummah on various Shariah topics. May the Almighty grant him the Highest Place in Jannah. Our sympathies and best wishes to Mufti Sahebs family. May the Almighty grant the entire family lots of Sabc during this time.
