On Wednesday, January 17, 2024, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia lost one of its most prominent religious scholars, Sheikh Saleh bin Abdulaziz bin Muhammad Al Sheikh, at the age of 90. Born in Riyadh in 1933, Sheikh Saleh grew up in a family of scholars, with his father being one of the kingdom’s leading scholars and sheikhs.

Sheikh Saleh received his early education in Riyadh schools before enrolling in the College of Sharia in Mecca, where he earned a bachelor’s degree in Islamic Sharia. He continued his postgraduate studies at the Islamic University in Medina, obtaining a master’s degree in jurisprudence, followed by a doctorate in Islamic studies from Al-Azhar University in Cairo.

Throughout his illustrious career, Sheikh Saleh held numerous academic and religious positions. He worked as a teacher at the College of Sharia at Imam Muhammad bin Saud Islamic University, later becoming the dean of the college. He also served as a member of the Council of Senior Scholars in Saudi Arabia, a member of the Permanent Committee for Islamic Research and Fatwas, and the president of the scientific council of the Muslim World League.

Sheikh Saleh was known for his vast knowledge and moderate fatwas, playing a significant role in promoting moderation and balance in Islamic thought. He authored numerous books and publications on jurisprudence, creed, and prophetic biography, with some of his most notable works being “The Major Rules of Jurisprudence” and “The Doctrinal Principles of Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama’ah.”

In a 2018 statement, Sheikh Saleh said, “Islam is a moderate and balanced religion that calls for tolerance and peaceful coexistence among people, and fights extremism and excess in all their forms.”

Sheikh Saleh’s publications exceeded 50 books, in addition to hundreds of scientific lectures and lessons he delivered across the Muslim world. He received numerous awards and honors throughout his academic career, including the King Faisal International Prize in Islamic Studies in 2010.

Sheikh Saleh is considered one of the most prominent scholars who contributed to spreading Islamic knowledge and moderate thought in the kingdom and the Muslim world. He left behind a vast scientific legacy and students who benefited from his knowledge and jurisprudence in various parts of the world.

With the passing of Sheikh Saleh, the kingdom has lost one of its intellectual and religious icons, who dedicated his life to serving Islam and Muslims, and spreading moderation and balance in Islamic thought. May Allah have mercy on Sheikh Saleh, grant him a place in Paradise, and inspire his family, students,

Social media platforms in Saudi Arabia witnessed significant interaction with the hashtag “#معسر_فاتوره_رقم256ب3872ب1” (Delinquent Bill Number 256B3872B1), which topped the list of most discussed topics in recent days. The hashtag highlights the story of an elderly man facing financial difficulties and struggling to pay an electricity bill.

The story originated from a viral video showing an elderly man discussing his struggles with accumulating bills, particularly an electricity bill numbered 256B3872B1, which caused him significant psychological and financial stress. In the video, the man explained that he suffers from health issues and is unable to work, making it impossible for him to meet his financial obligations.

The story sparked widespread sympathy among Saudi citizens, with numerous supportive comments calling on relevant authorities to intervene and assist the elderly man. Many urged direct financial aid for him.

No official entity has yet commented on the issue, neither the Ministry of Electricity nor the Ministry of Human Resources and Social Development. The public has expressed their views solely through social media platforms.

This story sheds light on the struggles of vulnerable groups in Saudi society and raises questions about how such humanitarian cases are handled by authorities and the extent of the social system’s ability to provide necessary support to those in dire need.

Some comments shared under the hashtag include:
– “A very touching story, we hope the concerned authorities intervene to help this poor man” – @محمد_العتيبي
– “It’s our duty as a society to help those in need, especially the elderly” – @فاطمة_المطيري
– “We call for activating the role of charitable organizations in such cases” – @عبدالعزيز_الشمري

This story highlights the importance of social solidarity and the need for collaborative efforts between society and government entities to support the most needy, especially amid the challenging economic conditions the world is facing.

We hope this humanitarian story receives the necessary attention from officials, and appropriate measures are taken to provide the elderly man with the required assistance, alleviating his suffering and enabling him to live with dignity.
