He studied at Al-Azhar and graduated at the top of his class in the Faculty of Principles of Islamic Jurisprudence in 1953.
In 1963, he was appointed at the Ministry of Awkaf (religious endowments) and was shortly dispatched to Qatar, where he decided to spend the rest of his life.
In 1977, Qaradawi established the Faculty of Shari`ah and Islamic Studies at Qatar University.
The prominent scholar has published dozens of books, chiefly The Lawful and the Prohibited in Islam.
He is known for his moderate views and considered to be one of the most influential scholars in the Muslim world.
He is the co-founder and president of the International Union of Muslim Scholars and the European Council for Fatwa and Research. (iol/dar)
