Hamdeh 2017a provides a detailed analysis of his stance toward Islamic legal tradition. A general overview of his life and impact is found in Hamdeh 2016 and Lacroix 2009. However, despite his importance in Islamic studies, there are relatively few academic works in English that focus primarily on Albānī’s life and methodology. Most works on the topics of Salafism and ḥadīth make some mention of Albānī. He sifted through thousands of ḥadīths and reevaluated them using traditional ḥadīth methodology. A distinctive aspect of Albānī’s legacy is his constant effort to reevaluate the authenticity of ḥadīth. His legal scholarship contains many unconventional opinions, and he was therefore taken most seriously in the field of ḥadīth, not fiqh. His scholarly career was full of tug-of-war battles with traditional jurists over the validity of following a madhhab and particular principles of Islamic legal theory. He rejected their allegiance to the Ḥanafī school of law and instead advocated a strict adherence to the Qurʾān and Sunna. From a young age, Albānī disagreed with his father and the Albanian Ḥanafī community. Albānī moved from Albania to Damascus with his family as a child, and his father became a leading Ḥanafī scholar in the Albanian Muslim community in Syria. He sought to reform Islam by requiring Muslims to return a puritanical and literalist approach toward scripture. Muḥammad Nāṣir al-Dīn al-Albānī (1914–1999) was one of the most influential Salafi scholars in the 20th century.
