Muhammad bin Abdul-Rahman Al-Arifi (Arabic: محمد بن عبد الرحمن العريفي, born 15 July 1970) is a Saudi Arabian author and Da’i. He is a graduate of King Saud University and member of the Muslim World League and the Association of Muslim Scholars.[2]
As of 2016, Al-Arifi had over 20 million followers on Twitter.[3]
Muslim Brotherhood affiliation was denied for Al-Arifi and Adil al-Kalbani by al-Kalbani, saying that they are affiliated with the Union of Muslim Scholars.[4] He said that Syria jihad is incumbent and did apologia for al-Nusra, visiting the Imam Muhammad ibn Abd al-Wahhab Mosque in Qatar.[5]
Al-Arifi had a discussion with Saudi Deputy crown prince Mohammad bin Salman Al Saud (MBS)and then tweeted and posted a photo of them smiling together.[6] The discussion was held on the same day as Saudi Vision 2030 began.[7][8][9] He asked God to bless MBS and posted his thanks.[10] Al-Arifi met with Mohammed bin Salman BS again and talked with him and posted the photo of them smiling together on Twitter.[11] They talked about the future of the Islamic world and of the Kingdom (of Saudi Arabia).[12] King Saud University employs Al-Arifi.[13]
Al-Arifi’s Twitter account was suspended in 2018.[14] In February 2021 it was reported that Al-Arifi was under watch by Saudi government authorities and that his moves and actions were being followed using spy devices and a tracking knee band.[15]
In May 2013, Al-Arifi was banned from entering Switzerland for a period of 5 years, for holding extreme views, Switzerland said.[2][16]
In March 2014, he was banned by the Home Office from returning to Britain after a series of sermons in Cardiff, Birmingham and London. A Home Office spokesperson said: “We can confirm “Al-Arefe” has been excluded from the United Kingdom, The Government makes no apologies for refusing people access to the UK if we believe they represent a threat to our society. Coming here is a privilege that we refuse to extend to those who seek to subvert our shared values.”[17][18]
Denmark banned him from entering the country for two years in May 2017.[19][20]
