Assim Al-Hakeem

Assim bin Luqman al-Hakeem (Arabic: عاصم بن لقمان الحكيم; born 23 November 1962) is a Saudi cleric of Indonesian descent.

He finished high school in 1980 and subsequently enrolled at King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals, but eventually dropped out.

He has been an imam in Jeddah for the last 20 years, where he delivers weekly sermons before Friday prayer and lectures on various Islamic sciences.

[3] He mostly preaches in English, delivering Islamic programs on social media channels, including Questions and Answers (ASK HUDA), Umdatul Ahkaam, Youth Talk, and Mercy to the Worlds.

[9] While acknowledging that disagreement exists among scholars, he considers the most authentic opinion is that female circumcision is recommended but it is neither mandatory nor forbidden.

[12] Al-Hakeem has claimed that all forms of protest are prohibited in Islam, a view that aligns with the Madkhali strain of Salafism.

[15] Al-Hakeem has been critical of the relationship between the Muslims and Jews, especially in the context of attempts of changing Islam to accommodate the actions and existence of Israel.

[16] When discussing the religious status of Ruhollah Khomeini he accuses him of being a Kafir who corrupted the aqeedah, a murderer of Sunnis, a person who made a vengeful war with Iraq and drained resources from the adjacent countries.

Zionism is a racist movement...so it's not related to a religion, (to my own humble understanding,)...but to try to polish the image of the Jews and say that they're not Zionists, this most likely won't work.

The Jews are the People of the Book, they're all not the same shade: there are of them who are Zionist, there are of them who are open enemies of Islam, and there are those who are not fighting us, not forcing the Muslims out of their homes, so we can try to get closer to those.

"[20] When discussing conspiracy theories and the movements associated with them (such as the Freemasons and the Illuminati), Al-Hakeem explained that despite the fact that knowing about such things is not fundamentally useful in Islam and could even be potentially harmful since attributing inordinate power to such groups makes Muslims feel weak, "We acknowledge that through history the Jews collaborating with the hypocrites had many conspiracies against Islam...the collaboration and the fingerprints of the Jews, the hypocrites, and the Rafidah is evident.
