"Traditional", CONTEMPORARY, Egyptian Shuyukh?

[Sunni_Student786]

As salaamu alaykum.

Does anyone know the names of any contemporary scholars from Egypt who can be considered "Traditional" in the sense that they not only believe in one of the accepted schools of Aqeedah, but that they also follow, when making a ruling, one of the four still valid fiqhi methodologies (i.e. the Usuls of the Hanafi, Shafi'i, Maliki, and Hanbali madhab) and publicly accept the validity of Tassawuf?

Bear in mind when answering that the scholar need not follow a single Usul when formulating a ruling all the time, because some Ulema are, indeed, qualified in more than one madhab. However, when establishing a SINGLE ruling, regarding a SINGLE issue, they should adhere to a SINGLE fiqhi methodology that is accept, rather than one which is an amalgam of Usul that has not been inherited by one who had the authority to formulate an Usul.

Given the above, who fits the bill?

Wa'salaam.

The Ustadh of hadith in Al Azhar, Shaykh Abdul Mahdi Abdul Qadir. I don't know if he fulfills all the conditions you have mentioned, but we had the oppurtunity of spending time with the great Hanafy Muhaddith, Shaykh Muhammad Awwama and he seems to have alot of regard and respect for Shaykh Abdul Mahdi.

That is indeed very heart warming to here, Inshallah i hope to see some productive replies such as the one given by the Shaykh above

I heard al-Azhar Uni in Egypt is Salafi orientated?

To the best of my knowledge, this is not the case. They teach Ashari Aqeedah.

But does he accept the validity of Tassawuf and voice this acceptance openly?

To the best of my knowledge, it is Abd al-Muhdi, not Abd al-Mahdi.

Shaykh al-Buti is not Egyptian; he is a Syrian Kurd.

With respect Mufti Ali Gomaa, I have never heard him speak of Tassawuf in any way. I will not comment on some of his rulings.

But it is true that some salafi learnt and graduated at azhar.
