May God have mercy on the scholar # Tariq_Bashri, I was not honored to meet him, but I drew from his knowledge through his valuable books.
He combined legal knowledge with the legal position, so he had a conscience at a time when the people of conscience were proud, and the broad-seller was a believer in the Islamic authority and was able to reconcile between the rights of the majorities and the rights of minorities without humiliation or abuse pic.twitter.com/04ggOQkxl7
