Career

Al-Maliki, like all traditional Shaykhs, and like his ancestors before him, taught a number of students at his own residence, providing them with food, shelter, and learning material free of cost.

In the early eighties, he relinquished his teaching position in the Umm al-Qura University as well as his ancestral chair of teaching in the Haram, due to the Fatwas of the Council of the Senior Scholars of Saudi Arabia headed by the late Mufti Ibn Baaz, who considered his beliefs to be in violation of the purity of the Monotheistic belief (Tawheed). Shaykh Saalih Aal-Shaykh, the incumbent Minister of Islamic affairs authored a book entiltled "Haazihi Mafaahimuna" [these are our views] in which he attacked the beliefs of the Sayyid, prouncing him to be deviant and misguided. The book was in fact a rebuttal of Sayyid Al-Maliki's book: "Mafaahim yajib An Tusahhah" [Views that must be corrected].

Since late mufti Ibn Baaz considered the Mawlid-un-Nabi (صلی الللہ علیہ وسلم) as unislamic there was a war of words between the two scholars. In opposition and reply to Sheikh Bin Baaz' Fatwa, the distinguished Arab Scholar, Sheikh Sayyid Alawi Maliki, who is an Ustad of Hadith in the Haram Shareef in Makkah, produced a clear, decisive and well-supported argument in Arabic on the permissibility of Meelad-un Nabi. Sheikh Sayyid Alawi, in his book "Holal Ihtefaal Bezikra-al Moulidin Nabawee al-Shareef" raised some very serious questions to Bin Baaz. He questioned Bin Baaz about his views on the innovations which are being practised "here" (in the Haram Shareef) and which were never practised before, neither in the Prophet's time, nor in the period of the Sahaba-Ikraam or of the Salf-e-Saleheen. The practices, which Sheikh Alawi mentioned were those such as:

1. The forming of a congregation to perform tahajjud salaah behind an imam.

2. The recitation of du'a after the Quran has been completed at the end of Ramadan in taraweeh prayer.

3. The gathering of people on the 27th of Ramadan at tahajjud where the imaam delivers a sermon.

4. The call of the muezzin by saying "Salaatul qiyaam athabakumullah."

5. Sending praise and salaams upon the prophet during azaan(call for prayer).This was first introduced by Hazrat Ali (radi Allahu anhu) and he used to teach it to people of his time. Ibn Jabir mentioned that in his book called "Tah'theeb Al-Aa'thar" so did Imam Tabari, Ibi Assem and Yaqoub bin Shaibah.

From that time until his death in 2004, he taught the great books of Hadith, Fiqh, Tafsir and Tasawwuf at his home and mosque on al-Maliki street in the Rusayfah district of Makkah, and his public lessons, between Maghrib

, were attended by no less than 500 people daily. Many students from the University used to attend his lessons in the evenings. Even the night before he died, his lesson was well attended. Hundreds of students from all over the Islamic world benefited from his lessons in the Haram Makkah and many hold key religious positions in their lands today.

He was also nominated as the head judge at the international Qira’at (Qur'anic reading) competition in Mecca for three consecutive years.
